You are very welcome, thank you 🤙

Nice explanation John. I have provided this video to my colleagues in our storage team to take a look at.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks, hope it helps.

John, Super explanation, User be aware archive tier can take several hours to retrieve depending on the specified rehydration priority. You can pay for High Priority Rehydration, but this is waivered if it takes > 5 hours +. So, sometimes it pays off to put in the archive tier and rehydrated at a High priority. Also noticed that you will always pay for 30 days of storage if you use Cool Tier, even if you purge after a few days.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yep, thanks for highlighting! Archive is definitely not online :-D

Another great video John! I'm currently looking at migrating our onprem file servers which is about 3 TB of data. These file servers aren't heavily used but our management team wants all the data up in the cloud as we are consolidating our offices. What option would you recommend? We don't have any applications that are accessing these files.

[@NTFAQGuy]

If they want in cloud for dr you could look at azure file sync. If they want it moved but still used day to day then maybe azure files but latency and performance may not be great from on premises and you’ll need ad authentication to keep acls. Share point, OneDrive may be better option. Various factors to consider.

Do Recovery Vault operations count as billable transactions against Storage Accounts?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Recovery vault has its own billing model.

Hi John - Suppose if my storage account is configured with LRS and 3 copies are stored in same data centre and imagine during rack failures , how will be able to retrieve that copy? When I select "GeoReplication" option in storage account, system asks me to either change storage account to RAGRS or GRS...So in what ways I will be able to retrieve my storage copy when LRS is being used, like an DR strategy? Is it using import/export data disk copy?

[@NTFAQGuy]

I cover resiliency of storage in the storage Azure Master Class. I recommend you watch that. 3 copies in LRS is not in same rack

[@surrendermohan6520]

@@NTFAQGuy Thanks , sure will watch over again...As you said, copies are in different racks, agreed! But for LRS storage accounts, imagine if my data is corrupted and I would need to get the other copies which is good in other racks - how will be able to get the other rack copies?

[@NTFAQGuy]

@@surrendermohan6520 no such concept. If its logically corrupt that corruption will replicate. If its physical failure then its detected and a new copy made from the other 2 replicas.

Thank you so much John.. I wish you a healthy life and continue all the good work you do to azure community...I remember what you said few videos back "it's time to give back" and so now you are giving back to the community with all knowledge.. I learned many from your videos and still learning it..Thanks Again!!!

@@surrendermohan6520 Very kind, thank you.
