Hey there, Søren Blom

Microsoft has a page is here: https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/backup/#pricing

From that page above, it does have an option to contact sales who would be able to go through your circumstances and explore what options are available for you: https://azure.microsoft.com/contact/pricing/

Alternatively, Azure has a price calculator that will estimate how much a service is going to cost. You can view this resource here: https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/calculator/

When you search for Azure backup, you will be able to select a resource you wish to back up. Then go through and see your estimated costs for the service.

Hope this information helps & Happy New Year,
Nathan

Hello Søren Blom Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A platform.

Azure Backup for a personal computer uses the MARS agent. Hourly backups are not supported the maximum frequency is three backups per day.

For backing up 4 TB of PC data with infinite retention for the latest versions and 3‑year retention for older versions:

Backup instance cost is about $50 per month
Storage cost for 4 TB (LRS) is about $98 per month

Total estimated cost is around $148 per month, excluding outbound data charges.
