I thought it would be less than that, but I guess not!

2 hours interval for 4 days means 48 copies, simple math!

I’m a bit confused about whether to count the backups that are still within the retention period or all of them. I hope I remember the right method!

I practiced a similar question where we had to calculate backup costs, and I think it was about multiplying the number of intervals by the retention days.

I think we need to figure out how many backups are created in 4 days with a 2-hour interval. That might lead us to the right answer.

I remember something about calculating backup copies based on the interval and retention period, but I'm not entirely sure how to apply it here.

This seems straightforward. I'll just do the math and see which answer choice matches the result.

I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by figuring out how many backups are taken in a 4-day period, then subtract the number that are retained within that period.

Okay, let's see. The backups are taken every 2 hours, and the retention period is 4 days. I think I can work this out.

I'm feeling a little cosmic about this one. Since the backups are for a Cosmos DB account, I'm going to go with B) 12. Why? Because the universe works in mysterious ways, my friend.

I'm going to have to agree with Zona on this one. D) 48 is the way to go. Though I must say, the Azure Cosmos DB team really loves their backups, don't they?

Yes, you're right. The retention period and interval definitely play a big role in determining the number of copies. Azure Cosmos DB team must really value data protection with these backup configurations.

I think D) 48 is correct. The retention period is 4 days, so that would be 24 hours x 4 days = 96 hours. And since the interval is 2 hours, that would be 96 hours / 2 hours = 48 copies.

Okay, let's break this down. 2 hour interval for 4 days means we have 48 backups. I guess the only one that doesn't incur additional charges is the current one, so the answer must be D) 48.

Wow, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with C) 46 because that seems like a reasonable number of backups that would incur additional charges.

But if the interval is 2 hours and retention period is 4 days, then there will be 12 copies in 4 days, so the answer should be B) 12.
