How Is CBR Billed?

Billing Items

You are billed for the storage space and the data traffic generated if backup replication is used. Pricing of the storage space varies with vault types. See details in the following table.

Category	Billing Item	Description	Billing Mode
Storage space	Disk backup vault	If cloud disks need to be backed up, buy disk backup vaults to store the backups.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly
	Server backup vault	If cloud servers (without applications) need to be backed up, buy server backup vaults to store the backups.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly
	SFS Turbo backup vault	If SFS Turbo file systems need to be backed up, buy SFS Turbo backup vaults to store the backups.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly
	Database server backup vault	If cloud servers (with applications) need to be backed up, buy database server backup vaults to store the backups. You need to enable Application-Consistent Backup on the Buy Server Backup Vault page before using database server backup vaults. For more information, see Application-Consistent Backup Overview.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly
	Hybrid cloud backup vault	If backups of on-premises VMware VMs need to be stored, buy hybrid cloud backup vaults.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly
	Replication vault	If you need to replicate backups to another region, buy replication vaults in the destination region.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly
Data traffic	Outbound traffic over the Internet	If hybrid cloud backups on the cloud are used to restore data to on-premises IDCs, outbound traffic is charged.	Free for a limited time
Data traffic	Cross-region replication traffic	If backups or vaults are replicated to another region, traffic for cross-region replication is charged for the source region.	Pay-per-use

Billing Examples

Example 1

Purchase a pay-per-use vault for cloud servers without databases deployed:

If a user purchases a 400-GB server backup vault for their 100-GB cloud server in the LA-Mexico City1 region, the user is billed for the 400-GB server backup vault in CBR.

Example 2

Purchase a pay-per-use vault for cloud servers with databases deployed:

If a user purchases an 800-GB database server backup vault for their 100-GB database server in the LA-Mexico City1 region, the user is billed for the 800-GB database server backup vault in CBR.

Example 3

Replicate a backup to another region:

A user purchases a 100 GB server backup vault A in the LA-Mexico City1 region, and the backup data uses 40 GB of the storage space. This user also purchases a 200 GB replication vault B in the AP-Bangkok region and replicates data from vault A to vault B, without using the acceleration service. In this case, the user is billed for the 100 GB backup vault and the 200 GB replication vault, as well as the 40 GB cross-region replication data traffic.
