Hello!
We are trying to schedule full backups of our azure VMs (i.e. System Image).
Volumes "backup & restore" system natively provided by Microsoft Azure Backup is not enough for our needs.
Assuming we don't want to set up a DPM Server to use with Azure Recovery Services, I tried the following workaround:
Backup
- Attach a new empty volume to the VM I've to backup (I'll call it F:)
- Use Windows Server Backup to create a system image, stored in F:
- Use Windows Azure Backup to backup F: contents with Azure Recovery Services
Restore
- Create a new VM
- Recover F: contents from Azure Recovery Services and...
I'm stuck right here. Any way to restore an Azure VM From a System Image?
Of course, any other simple solution to our simple need (schedule full backups of Azure VMs) is welcome.
Thank you everyone!
