Azure Blob Storage Cold Tier now in production
In addition to "hot", "cool" and "archive", the new "cold" tier in Azure Blob Storage is now in production:

Does/will Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 support this as a primary backup target? And if so, would it make sense? Or would the higher read cost nullify the benefit? (Since reads seem required for copying data to archive storage.)

Hi Stephan
We are aware of the new tier and are looking into it.
Unfortunately there is no information we can share today.
Best,
Fabian

Re: Azure Blob Storage Cold Tier now in production
You'll note that there is a Veeam quote at the bottom of the blog post you referenced . So yes we intend to support this tier going forward. I expect we'll see support in a coming version of VBR and VBAZ. And I imagine in VB365 eventually as well.
I would highly recommend you do the math very carefully. This tier allows instant access and lower prices, with the tradeoff that writes, and especially retrievals have a higher cost. VB365 uses a lot of metadata that is accessed frequently, so I would be careful with using this one. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/prici ... age/blobs/

Re: Azure Blob Storage Cold Tier now in production
What about modifying Veeam for M365 so that it writes metadata to cool or even hot tier but actual items to cold tier?

Using backup copy jobs would make the most sense. But I imagine that once VB365 officially supports this tier there will be more guidance.
