Azure Backup Storage reserved capacity can significantly reduce your capacity costs for Azure Backup data. The cost savings achieved depend on the duration of your reservation, the total capacity you choose to reserve, and the vault tier, and type of redundancy you've chosen for your vault. Reserved capacity provides a billing discount and doesn't affect the state of your Azure Backup Storage resources.

An Azure Backup Storage reservation covers only the amount of data that’s stored in a subscription or shared resource group. Early deletion, operations, bandwidth, and data transfer charges aren’t included in the reservation. As soon as you purchase a reservation, you’re charged for the capacity charges that match the reservation attributes at the discount rates, instead of pay-as-you-go rates. For more information on Azure reservations, see [What are Azure Reservations?](./cost-management-billing/reservations/save-compute-costs-reservations.md).
