Hi Gouri Nayak,

The pricing for Azure SFTP Blob Storage and how it would apply to transferring a 120 GB database backup to a non-Azure environment.

1. Storage Costs: The cost to store data in Azure Blob Storage is based on the access tier (Hot, Cool, Archive) and the amount of data stored. For example, the monthly price per GB for the Hot tier is $0.0208, for the Cool tier is $0.0115, and for the Archive tier is $0.002. Azure Pricing Page.
2. Data Transfer Costs: When transferring data out of Azure (e.g., moving your 120 GB database backup to a non-Azure environment), outbound data transfers are charged based on bandwidth usage. Inbound transfers to Azure are free, but outbound transfers incur costs that are calculated on a graduated scale. This is about $0.087 per GB for data leaving Azure regions.

To estimate the total cost for transferring 120 GB of data, you would need to consider both the storage costs (if applicable) and the data transfer costs based on Azure's pricing model.

The Microsoft Azure pricing calculator can help estimate your costs.

Data Transfers: Inbound data transfers to Microsoft Azure are free. Outbound transfers are charged for the bandwidth use and calculated based on a graduated region-specific scale. For more information, see the Data Transfers Section of the Pricing Details article. Hope the above suggestion helps! Please let us know do you have any further queries.
