DTU Model Pricing of backups

Question

While we want to take backup of Azure sql hosted on sql server in azure, what would be the pricing if backup crosses the Provisioned size of DTU?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly but if you are referring to requiring backup beyond the included point-in-time restore period then you always have the option of using long term retention to create a backup policy of your own and retain the backup data for much longer (up to 10 years).

Pricing is based on amount of data stored and retention period, i.e. GB/month - see here for pricing: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/azure-sql-database/single/
