ASR is not a backup solution but a disaster recovery (DR) site in the cloud. Having a DR site was never easier and never cheaper than having one in Azure. Most traditional DR sites involve equipment identical (or at least very similar) to the site that is protected, and cost around 80% of price of the original site. On the other hand, ASR is charged per protected node and for storage where data is stored, so comes very cheap. If recovery is activated in Azure, then compute prices is added for VMs. This way you are paying only for protection and compute prices only when failover occurs.
