Hello @Jordan Algar It isn't exactly correct to say that using the VERIFY function will increase your cost by 10x. However, it's absolutely true that the VERIFY function is resource-intensive and thus can add to your overall cost since it depends on both the size of your backups and the frequency of verification. It's important to monitor resource usage like CPU, I/O etc. during the VERIFY operations.
