What to consider: Storage & Backup

  • Match the storage type to the access pattern: object storage for files and backups, block for a server's disk, file storage for shared folders.
  • Use lifecycle rules to move old data to cheaper classes automatically.
  • Turn on versioning or backups and test a restore before you need it.
