Hi @Sumarigo-MSFT Thanks for your response, on addition to this. Is there any frequency of data replication, how frequent data gets replicated to secondary region.

@Deshmukh, Vijit RA-GRS (Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage) is a redundancy option for Azure Storage that provides read access to data in the secondary region in addition to the primary region. With RA-GRS, data is replicated asynchronously to the secondary region, which means that there may be a delay between when data is written to the primary region and when it is available in the secondary region.

The frequency of data replication in RA-GRS depends on several factors, including the amount of data being replicated, the network bandwidth between the primary and secondary regions, and the level of activity in the storage account. In general, data replication in RA-GRS occurs every few minutes, but the exact frequency can vary depending on the workload.

It is important to note that RA-GRS is designed to provide redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities, but it is not a replacement for backup and recovery solutions. If you need to ensure that your data is protected against accidental deletion, corruption, or other data loss scenarios, you should implement a backup and recovery solution in addition to using RA-GRS.
