I am doing a trial on MS Azure backup and was able to successfully register on the Azure portal
1. Set up recovery vault
2. Downloaded the Azure Backup Server
3. Installed the Azure Backup Server on premise
4. registered using vault credentials
5. Installation successful.
We have a
1. File Server (where all our files are folders are stored) - Hyper VM (Server A)
2. A SQL Server - Hyper VM (Server B)
3. Azure Backup Server - Hyper VM (Server C)
My questions are
1. If I need to backup server A - can I from Server C? Do I need to install the DPM or MARS Agent on Server A?
2. Would the best practice be for us to install the Azure Backup on Server A?
3. What is the difference between the 2 agents DPM and MARS - how do we chose on which one to install?
4. I installed the MARS agent on Server A as a test and I was able to configure my backup - now, where does my file get backed up to? I have not created a backup vault on Azure portal? How do I create one? DO we need one? If I run a backup, where does my files get backed up to? How can we verify and view them?
5. If I can run a backup by setting up MARS agent then what is the purpose of installing the Azure Backup suite on Server C? What if I install the agent on all the servers and run a backup to Azure?
6. Like to understand the storage my backup will take, for billing?
Thanks in Advance.
