Azure Backup

Azure service for backing up and restoring Azure VMs, files, databases and on-premises workloads to vaults.

Definition

Azure Backup stores recovery points in Recovery Services vaults or Backup vaults with backup policies defining frequency and retention. Features include application-consistent VM snapshots, the MARS agent for files and folders, soft delete, immutable vaults, multi-user authorization and cross-region restore.

Example

A backup policy takes daily snapshots of production VMs and retains weekly copies for 52 weeks.

Exam tip

Soft delete and immutable vaults protect backups from ransomware deletion.
