Azure Recovery Services Vault Pricing for specific VMs
Hi, We have recently setup a few VMs for our security department and they will be paying for them out of their budget. We can easily filter the costs by the resource group for the VMs, storage etc but we are struggling with re-charging them for the cost of their backups. We are using Azure Recovery Services Vault and performing a selective disk backup on two of their VMs. I can manually cost this using the pricing calculator, but i don;t want to have to work this out every time based on how much data they have used. Is there a way to see the cost per VM for backups? I can only see a cost per Recovery Services vault and nothing more granuar.
Thanks
J

- You could take a look at Restore Point Collections, and then Tag them:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/compute/restore-point-collections/create-or-update
They are a hidden resource in the Azure Portal, most likely in the Resource Group that your Backups exist in, you need to click the 'Hidden Resource' box.
If you tag them, you might be able to see the costs.- Thanks, I hadn't actauly looked at those. They are not hidden but are in another resource group. Just had a look and there is no cost analysis information for them anywhere apart from on the resource group itself which when selected has no data at all.
