Hello, having a really hard time understanding how to backup a windows azure machine. Additional drives, I get that, Windows Azure Backup, Windows Server Backup, third party apps, but how do you backup the OS drive and then restore it. I don't really like the snapshot plan for long term backups. Tried disk2vhd, then uploaded to blob, but image won't boot without sysprep, just gets stuck on provisioning. How am I to protect a domain controller from, well, anything. I'm using 2008 R2 right now by the way, NTDS on separate volumes.
Thanks!
