I hope this is the correct forum to ask this question. When you use VDC Vault as 3rd offsite copy for your backups, but want to write archive data for 5 year retention to Azure (same datacentre) - what costs do you incur (ingress/egress/transactional costs) when writing it off to archive storage? I have heard rumours of an archive tier coming into VDC Vault?

Yes you can do this. If you have foundation edition of vault you’ll violate the fair use for egress so this would cost you, but not with Advanced. You’d be responsible for all Azure archive tier fees such as read/writes, egress bandwidth and storage at rest.

Thank you Michael - know anything about an archive tier for VDC Vault? Would make life a lot cheaper and simpler for such an solution.
