-Locally redundant availability is based on storing your database to [locally redundant storage (LRS)](/azure/storage/common/storage-redundancy#locally-redundant-storage) which copies your data three times within a single datacenter in the primary region and protects your data in the event of local failure, such as a small-scale network or power failure. LRS is the lowest-cost redundancy option and offers the least durability compared to other options. If a large-scale disaster such as fire or flooding occurs within a region, all replicas of a storage account using LRS might be lost or unrecoverable. As such, to further protect your data when using the locally redundant availability option, consider using a more resilient storage option for your [database backups](automated-backups-overview.md#backup-storage-redundancy). This doesn't apply to Hyperscale databases, where the same storage is used for both data files and backups.
