Protected Data Size Calculation

    Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS provides a discover tool to help you accurately calculate the protected data size across your services, ensuring proper subscription planning.

    This tool offers a script package to calculate data size for multiple services, including Azure VM, Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, Azure DevOps, and Amazon EC2. Download the script package .

    *Note: It is recommended to download the DevOps script to a separate empty folder and run it from there, outside of any existing repository folder, to avoid unexpected issues.

    The capacity-based subscription cost is determined by the size of the protected data. Here's how we charge based on protected data size across different services:

    - **Azure VM** – Sum of disk sizes. - **Azure** **Storage** – Size of file shares and blobs in your storage account. - **Azure SQL** **Database** – Data space allocated size. - **Amazon EC2** – Sum of disk sizes. - **Azure DevOps** – Comprehensive total, including 1GB base allocation for organizational metadata, wiki attachments sizes, work item attachments sizes, and repository sizes. > ***Note**: The discover tool can only calculate the repository sizes. Since it doesn't capture wiki and work item attachments sizes, it’s recommended to add a cost buffer to your subscription capacity to account for these attachments storage requirements. - For details on how to check the protected data size, refer to - [Azure VM, Azure Storage, and Azure SQL Database](#missing-link) - [Amazon EC2 Instance](#missing-link) - [Azure DevOps](#missing-link)
