How does moving data out of a database affect storage capacity?
As part of moving file-type data such as “Annotation” and “Attachment” out from database and into file storage, we periodically reclaim the freed database space. This leads to decreased usage of database capacity, while the table and file data size computations remain unchanged. Do indexes affect database storage usage? Possibly.
How to calculate storage capacity in Microsoft Dataverse?

Where can I find a stand alone database?
A stand-alone database is located entirely on a user’s hard-drive, and involves a much more simple system. The front-end of the database (containing the user interface) and the back-end (containing the data) can either be contained within the same database file, or split into two, separate files.
How is Dataverse used to improve search performance?
Possibly. Database storage includes both the database rows and index files used to improve search performance. Indexes are created and optimized for peak performance and are updated frequently by the system by analyzing data use patterns. No user action is needed to optimize the indexes, as all Dataverse stores have tuning enabled by default.
Why does database size decrease while file size remains the same?
File-type data such as “Annotation” and “Attachment” is moving from database to file storage. This leads to decreased usage of database capacity and an increase in file capacity. Why could my database table size decrease while my table and file data sizes remain the same?
How often do I need to export my SQL database?
Matching the functionality of Geo-Restore would require an export to be taken every hour. Every hour a database copy would need to be made then exported into geo-redundant storage. Depending on the size of the database and its schema, it may take longer than 1 hour to complete the export.
Which is better import / export or built in backups?
Accomplishing these same functionalities with Import/Export could be costly and incur a lot of operational overhead. Import/Export cannot entirely be replaced by the built-in backups. Import/Export, along with client tools like SSDT and SSMS, is still recommended for migrating data in and out of Azure SQL Database.
