Snapshot Backup Pricing Calculation

  • Snapshot backup pricing is based on the size of the root volume. For example, if the pricing is configured as $1/hour/GB and the backup retention is set to 2 (or any other value), enabling snapshot backups for a 60GB volume will incur a charge of $60/hour (calculated as $1 x 60GB), regardless of the retention setting. It is recommended to carefully set the pricing with consideration to the number of retention copies configured.
  • You can find retention settings in global settings with label “backup_limit”.
  • Billing Cycle and Pricing (per GB): Set the price for data backup based on the selected currency.
    • Currency: Choose the billing currency (e.g., INR, TRY).
    • Hourly (per GB): Specify the hourly cost per GB of backup storage.

Once all fields are completed, click Save to create and activate the VM Backup Package.
