Hi,
I have a few queries regarding Azure Backup and would appreciate if someone could answer them for me. The entire scenario is based on Azure Virtual Machines and not on-premise servers. I do not have DPM.
1) Is it recommended to use Azure Backup for my VMs in Azure? or is it primarily for on-premise servers backing up to the cloud
2) Azure Backup is file only - cannot backup System State, Active Directory, Exchange or SQL databases - Yes/No?
3) Strategy for backing up System State and Active Directory - use Windows Server Backup to backup to local VHD. Then use Azure Backup to backup the contents. Correct?
4) Why use Azure Backup at all? When I can use Windows Server backup to backup to a VHD?
5) Azure File Service - is this a viable option as a backup destination for Windows Server Backup for System State rather than dump to VHD.
Thanks
