-Azure Elastic SAN volume protection (preview) includes the following key features:
+Elastic SAN backup includes the following key features:
 
-- **Snapshot export**: Exports the selected Elastic SAN volume to an independent Managed Disk incremental snapshot (operational tier) at a given point in time.
+- **Region availability**: The feature is currently [available in specific regions](azure-elastic-storage-area-network-backup-support-matrix.md#supported-regions) only. 
+- **Snapshot export**: Exports the selected Elastic SAN volume to an independent managed disk incremental snapshot (operational tier) at a given point in time.
 - **Storage and resiliency**: Managed Disk incremental snapshot is stored in Locally redundant storage (LRS) resiliency (in LRS-[supported regions](azure-elastic-storage-area-network-backup-support-matrix.md#supported-regions)), independent of the Elastic SAN volume lifecycle.
 - **Restore points**: Supports up to **450 restore points**, with backup frequency of **24 hours**.
 - **Backup tier**: Supports operational tier.
 
   >[!Note]
   >Long-term vaulted backups are currently not supported.
 - **Volume size limit**: Supports Elastic SAN volumes size of **<= 4 TB**.
+- **Snapshot deletion**: Deletion of snapshots isn't possible if **Delete Lock** is enabled on the resource group. Ensure that you disable  **Delete Lock** to use this feature.

+## How the backup process for Elastic SAN works
 
-## Workflow for Azure Elastic SAN protection (preview)
+Azure Backup manages the backup operations for Elastic SAN by performing the following actions:
 
-Azure Backup manages the protection workflow for Azure Elastic SAN by performing the following operations:
-
-1. After you configure an Azure Elastic SAN volume backup, Azure Backup captures a snapshot, extracts changed data to a Managed Disk incremental snapshot (recovery point), and then removes the volume snapshot.
+- After you configure the Elastic SAN backup, Azure Backup captures a snapshot, extracts changed data to a managed disk incremental snapshot (recovery point), and then removes the volume snapshot.
 
    >[!Note]
    >- The Elastic SAN volume snapshot is temporary and isn't a recovery point.
    >- Azure Backup manages the lifecycle of these incremental snapshots as per the backup policy.
 
-1. During restore, Azure Backup reads the Managed Disk incremental snapshot, and then recovers it as a new volume in an existing Elastic SAN instance using the Elastic SAN import APIs.
+- During restore, Azure Backup reads the managed disk incremental snapshot, and then recovers it as a new volume in an existing Elastic SAN instance using the Elastic SAN import APIs.
 
    You can also create a Managed Disk from the Managed Disk incremental snapshot directly from the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/).
 
 ## Pricing
 
 The solution consists of the following cost components:
 
-- **Azure Backup protected instance fee for the Elastic SAN Volume**: No charges are applicable during preview.
+- **Azure Backup protected instance fee for the Elastic SAN**: No charges are applicable during preview.
 - **Managed Disk incremental snapshot fee**: Charges apply as per [existing Azure rates](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/managed-disks/) for data stored in the operational tier of managed disk incremental snapshots during preview.
