- Azure Backup uses [incremental snapshots](/azure/virtual-machines/disks-incremental-snapshots#restrictions) of the managed disk. Incremental snapshots are a cost-effective, point-in-time backup of managed disks that are billed for the delta changes to the disk since the last snapshot. These are always stored on the most cost-effective storage, standard HDD storage regardless of the storage type of the parent disks. The first snapshot of the disk will occupy the used size of the disk, and consecutive incremental snapshots store delta changes to the disk since the last snapshot. Azure Backup automatically assigns tag to the snapshots it creates to uniquely identify them.
