Use the [MABS Capacity Planner](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54301) to determine the correct VM size. Based on your inputs, the capacity planner gives you the required memory size and CPU core count. Use this information to choose the appropriate Azure VM size. The capacity planner also provides total disk size required for the VM along with the required disk IOPS. We recommend using a Standard SSD for the VM. By pooling more than one SSD, you can achieve the required IOPS.

Storing backup data in Azure reduces backup infrastructure on the Azure Backup Server VM. For operational recovery (backup), Azure Backup Server stores backup data on Azure disks attached to the VM. After the disks and storage space are attached to the VM, Azure Backup Server manages the storage for you. The amount of storage depends on the number and size of disks attached to each Azure VM. Each size of the Azure VM has a maximum number of disks that can be attached. For example, A2 is four disks, A3 is eight disks, and A4 is 16 disks. Again, the size and number of disks determine the total backup storage pool capacity.

To store backup data in Azure, create or use a Recovery Services vault. When you prepare to back up the Azure Backup Server workload, you [configure the Recovery Services vault](#create-a-recovery-services-vault). Once configured, each time an online backup job runs, a recovery point gets created in the vault. Each Recovery Services vault holds up to 9,999 recovery points. Depending on the number of recovery points created and how long kept, you can keep backup data for many years. For example, you could create monthly recovery points and keep them for five years.

The storage replication option lets you choose between geo-redundant storage (the default) and locally redundant storage. Geo-redundant storage copies the data in your storage account to a secondary region, making your data durable. Locally redundant storage is a cheaper option that isn't as durable. To learn more about geo-redundant and locally redundant storage options, see [Azure Storage redundancy](../storage/common/storage-redundancy.md).
