Review estimated costs for protecting Azure resources with Commvault Cloud and native services. Adjust retention and growth parameters to compare outcomes and forecast spend.
View cost estimate for backups of discovered resources
The Overview tab shows the total number of discovered resources across all configured connections, total data size, and the estimated monthly storage cost for primary backups.
To view the annual total cost of backups and the storage forecast, click View cost estimate, and then click the Year 1 tab. The dashboard also displays the breakdown of resources and associated costs. Apply filters to view estimates by connection, workload type, resource type, region, subscription, or resource group.
To customize parameters, click the edit button. Modify retention settings, annual growth rate, and daily change rate per workload to refine estimates.

The Connections tab lists the connections configured to discover cloud resources.
You can do the following:
-
To discover new resources added to your Azure account, click Start discovery.
-
To modify a connection, click the connection name, and then click Edit.
Note
Only the connections added using the custom configuration authentication method can be modified.

Track and manage protection for discovered resources
Use the Resources tab to view discovered Azure resources and manage protection plans. Resource metadata includes region, protection status, and last backup time.
