I've read the FAQs and posts on Azure Backup but I have some questions before I move my customer to Azure Backup.
1. Offline backup & Seeding: I plan to get a 4TB drive and use the Azure Import/Export tool to move data to and then send off for initial seed. Since the system has to have Bitlocker enabled, can I setup a Windows 10 desktop/laptop>enable Bitlocker>attach external HDD>send data from server to encrypted drive attached via temporary desktop/laptop?
2. If I do this, can I then do away with the temporary computer and move the Azure Backup Client to a server?
and finally
3. Can I also do local backups to an external hdd from a server, and does that drive have to be encrypted with Bitlocker as well?
Sorry for long questions but I'm about to migrate my 1st customer to AZ Backup and want to make sure I get it right. Any help would be much appreciated.
