 The sizes for the backup volumes are estimations. Exact requirements need to be defined based on workload and operation processes. For backups, you could consolidate many volumes for different SAP HANA instances to one (or two) larger volumes, which could have a lower service level of ANF.

 Check whether the storage throughput for the different suggested volumes meets the workload that you want to run. If the workload requires higher volumes for **/hana/data** and **/hana/log**, you need to increase the number of Azure premium storage VHDs. Sizing a volume with more VHDs than listed increases the IOPS and I/O throughput within the limits of the Azure virtual machine type.
