The document compares different backup strategies for backing up data to Microsoft Azure, including using Azure Backup as a service, running backup software in an Azure IaaS VM, and other options. It notes that Azure Backup has unlimited storage and backup compute costs are included, while running backup software in an IaaS VM has storage limits and monthly compute fees. The document also discusses pricing models and capabilities for long-term retention of backups in Azure storage.

is very inexpensive, a
majority of the cost of
tape-based backup is
the "soft" costs, which
occur around backup
software, maintenance
and staff time”
