### Locally redundant storage

Locally redundant storage (LRS) replicates the data within your storage accounts to one or more Azure availability zones located in the primary region of your choice. Although there is no option to choose your preferred availability zone, Azure may move or expand LRS accounts across zones to improve load balancing. LRS provides at least 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability of objects over a given year. Visit the [What are Azure availability zones](../../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md) article to learn more about availability zone reliability.
Locally redundant storage (LRS) replicates the data within your storage accounts within a single physical location. Azure may move or expand LRS accounts across zones to improve load balancing. LRS provides at least 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability of objects over a given year. Visit the [What are Azure availability zones](../../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md) article to learn more about availability zone reliability.

LRS is the lowest-cost redundancy option and offers the least durability compared to other options. LRS protects your data against server rack and drive failures. However, if a disaster such as fire or flooding occurs within the data center, all replicas of a storage account using LRS might be lost or unrecoverable. To mitigate this risk, Microsoft recommends using [zone-redundant storage](#zone-redundant-storage) (ZRS), [geo-redundant storage](#geo-redundant-storage) (GRS), or [geo-zone-redundant storage](#geo-zone-redundant-storage) (GZRS).
