We have a SQL server on Azure VM and the current backups are as follows. We would like to recommend to move the backups to Recovery Service Cost without any additional cost. Please advise.

1) SQL Backups - Is there any cost different when we are moving from Azure Managed Backups to Recovery Service Vault ?

2) VM backup - Is there any cost difference when we are moving from Azure VM backups (MARS Agent) to Recovery Service Vault ?

In addition to the above queries, that it would be great if you can advise about backup cost optimizations via RSV.

    I see that you want to backup SQL Server on Azure VM using Azure backup and would like to know the cost. Please find the answers below:

    1) SQL Backups - Is there any cost different when we are moving from Azure Managed Backups to Recovery Service Vault ?
    Pricing depends on different factors like, License type, data size and usage and so on. This link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-
    us/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/pricing-guidance?view=azuresql talks about cost for SQL Server on Azure VM and the
    ways to optimize cost.

    2) VM backup - Is there any cost difference when we are moving from Azure VM backups (MARS Agent) to Recovery Service Vault ?
    Basically, the pricing is based on # of protected instance and the storage (Data size). More details about Azure backup pricing can be found here - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/backup/

    You can also request pricing quote from Azure sales team.
