Azure backup for nonprofits

Anybody knows if Microsoft offers any 'nonprofit' deals for backing up data to Azure? We are a nonprofit that needs to store data for 3 months for archiving purposes and we're looking at Azure as a possible solution. I know their price is 0.2 per Gb of data and I was wondering if anybody has any experience on their pricing when coming to nonprofits?

Thank you!

The above link has no info on Azure, how much data do you want to backup for 3 months?

If Azure is the only option, did you ask Microsoft?

I did not ask Microsoft yet.

I would go with 4 weekly backup jobs stored for a month and 3 monthly. One job would be somewhere around 5TB.

Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your response. I'm not sure those services mentioned would support this kind of backup. We already backup to disk but we're just concerned about offsite backups. Our retention policy for offsite backup is 4 weekly jobs for a month and another 3 monthly...for 3 months obviously.

Thanks
