Nice explanation John. I have provided this video to my colleagues in our storage team to take a look at.

John, Super explanation, User be aware archive tier can take several hours to retrieve depending on the specified rehydration priority. You can pay for High Priority Rehydration, but this is waivered if it takes > 5 hours +. So, sometimes it pays off to put in the archive tier and rehydrated at a High priority. Also noticed that you will always pay for 30 days of storage if you use Cool Tier, even if you purge after a few days.

Do Recovery Vault operations count as billable transactions against Storage Accounts?

Hi John - Suppose if my storage account is configured with LRS and 3 copies are stored in same data centre and imagine during rack failures, how will be able to retrieve that copy? When I select "GeoReplication" option in storage account, system asks me to either change storage account to RAGRS or GRS...So in what ways I will be able to retrieve my storage copy when LRS is being used, like an DR strategy? Is it using import/export data disk copy?

Another great video John! I'm currently looking at migrating our onprem file servers which is about 3 TB of data. These file servers aren't heavily used but our management team wants all the data up in the cloud as we are consolidating our offices. What option would you recommend? We don't have any applications that are accessing these files.
