# Estimate the cost of archiving data

The archive tier is an offline tier for storing data that is rarely accessed. The archive access tier has the lowest storage cost. However, this tier has higher data retrieval costs with a higher latency as compared to the hot, cool and cold tiers.

###### Put Block and Put Block List

If you upload a blob by using the [Put Block](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block) and [Put Block List](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block-list) operations, then an upload will require multiple operations, and each of those operations are charged separately. Each [Put Block](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block) operation is charged at the price of a write operation for the accounts default access tier. The number of [Put Block](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block) operations that you need depends on the block size that you specify to upload the data. For example, if the blob size is 100 MiB and you choose block size to 10 MiB when you upload that blob, you would use 10 [Put Block](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block) operations. Blocks are written (committed) to the archive tier by using the [Put Block List](/rest/api/storageservices/put-block-list) operation. That operation is charged the price of an **archive** write operation. Therefore, to upload a single blob, your cost is (<u>number of blocks</u> * <u>price of a hot write operation) + price of an archive write operation</u>.

- [Copy an archived blob to an online tier](#copy-an-archived-blob-to-an-online-tier): You can rehydrate an archived blob by copying it to a new blob in the hot or cool tier with the [Copy Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/copy-blob) operation.

Rehydrating a blob from the archive tier can take several hours to complete. Microsoft recommends archiving larger blobs for optimal performance when rehydrating. Rehydrating a large number of small blobs may require extra time due to the processing overhead on each blob. A maximum of 10 GiB per storage account may be rehydrated per hour with priority retrieval.

## Rehydration priority
2525

2626
When you rehydrate a blob, you can set the priority for the rehydration operation via the optional *x-ms-rehydrate-priority* header on a [Set Blob Tier](/rest/api/storageservices/set-blob-tier) or [Copy Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/copy-blob) operation. Rehydration priority options include:
2727

28-
- **Standard priority**: The rehydration request will be processed in the order it was received and may take up to 15 hours to complete for objects under 10 GB in size.
29-
- **High priority**: The rehydration request will be prioritized over standard priority requests and may complete in less than one hour for objects under 10 GB in size.

To check the rehydration priority while the rehydration operation is underway, call [Get Blob Properties](/rest/api/storageservices/get-blob-properties) to return the value of the `x-ms-rehydrate-priority` header. The rehydration priority property returns either *Standard* or *High*.

## Copy an archived blob to an online tier

The first option for moving a blob from the archive tier to an online tier is to copy the archived blob to a new destination blob that is in either the hot, cool or cold tier. You can use the [Copy Blob](/rest/api/storageservices/copy-blob) operation to copy the blob. When you copy an archived blob to a new blob in an online tier, the source blob remains unmodified in the archive tier.

You must copy the archived blob to a new blob with a different name or to a different container. You can't overwrite the source blob by copying to the same blob.

By copying a blob from the archive tier to an online tier, you can avoid the early deletion fee that is assessed if you change the tier of a blob from the archive tier before the required 180-day period elapses. For more information, see [Archive access tier](access-tiers-overview.md#archive-access-tier).

This option can also make sense if there is there's a lifecycle management policy in effect for the storage account, and the `daysAfterLastTierChangeGreaterThan` condition is not added to each `tierToArchive` action of the policy. In that case, rehydrating a blob with [Set Blob Tier](/rest/api/storageservices/set-blob-tier) operation can result in a scenario where the lifecycle policy moves the blob back to the archive tier after rehydration because the last modified time is beyond the threshold set for the policy. A copy operation leaves the source blob in the archive tier and creates a new blob with a different name and a new last modified time, so there's no risk that the rehydrated blob will be moved back to the archive tier by the lifecycle policy.

Copying a blob from the archive tier can take hours to complete depending on the rehydration priority selected. Behind the scenes, a blob copy operation reads your archived source blob to create a new online blob in the selected destination tier. The new blob may be visible when you list the blobs in the parent container before the rehydration operation is complete, but its tier will be set to archive. The data isn't available until the read operation from the source blob in the archive tier is complete and the blob's contents have been written to the new destination blob in an online tier. The new blob is an independent copy, so modifying or deleting it doesn't affect the source blob in the archive tier.
