# Change how a storage account is replicated

Azure Storage always stores multiple copies of your data so that it is protected from planned and unplanned events. This including transient hardware failures, network or power outages, and massive natural disasters. Redundancy ensures that your storage account meets the [Service-Level Agreement (SLA) for Azure Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/sla/storage/) even in the face of failures.

Before making any changes, review those [limitations](#limitations-for-changing-replication-types) along with the [downtime requirements](#downtime-requirements) to ensure you have a plan that will produce the best end result within a time frame that suits your needs, and that satisfies your uptime requirements.

If you want to change both zone-redundancy and either geo-replication or read-access, a two-step process is required. Geo-redundancy and read-access can be changed at the same time, but the zone-redundancy conversion must be performed separately. These steps can be performed in any order.

In most cases you can use the Azure portal, PowerShell, or the Azure CLI to change the geo-redundant or read access (RA) replication setting for a storage account. If you are initiating a zone redundancy conversion, you can change the setting from within the Azure portal, but not from PowerShell or the Azure CLI.
