Answer
3 copies.
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) provides highly durable and available storage within a single location (sub region). Azure maintains an equivalent of 3 copies (replicas) of your data within the primary location as described in SOSP paper; this ensures that Azure can recover from common failures (disk, node, rack) without impacting your storage account’s availability and durability.
