Hello,
We need to develop a simple automatic backup solution. We need help to determine a cost effective method using Logic App/Function app or Power Automate. The file contents are stored at on-premise network folder (SMB).
The requirements of the automation
- A service account is setup to run the flow.
- The solution will run once per day in un-attended mode (schedule).
- The solution will zip the files in the on-premise network folder.
- The backup frequency is configurable.
- The zipped file will store in the Service account OneDrive.
We have been told we need on-premise gateway connector to access network folder, if we go for Power Automate route. For this option we are going to be charged CAD$ 51.20 per user per month. On the other hand, if we develop Azure Function Apps using SMB via vnet with Logic Apps trigger. We are only charged pennies per run.
Can someone verify it, please?
Thanks,
