 A capacity reservation for Azure Files covers only the amount of data that is stored in a subscription or shared resource group. Transaction, bandwidth, data transfer, and metadata storage charges are not included in the reservation. As soon as you buy a reservation, the capacity charges that match the reservation attributes are charged at the discount rates instead of the 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).

+If you're taking snapshots of Azure file shares, there are differences in how capacity reservations work for standard versus premium file shares. If you're taking snapshots of standard file shares, then the snapshot differentials count against the reserved capacity and are billed as part of the normal used storage meter. However, if you're taking snapshots of premium file shares, then the snapshots are billed using a separate meter and don't count against the capacity reservation. For more information, see [Snapshots](understanding-billing.md#snapshots).
