Hi @xiwen,

Right now its not possible to pick the snapshot redundancy.

The VM's are in a region that supports ZRS, so the incremental snapshots automatically use ZRS. The reasons for this are in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/disks-incremental-snapshots - "Additionally, incremental snapshots potentially offer better reliability with zone-redundant storage (ZRS). If ZRS is available in the selected region, an incremental snapshot will use ZRS automatically."

Thank you for the information. I guess this option is not available in 11.32. Which version of the Commvault support this feature?
