Where do Azure backups go?

Where does Azure backups stored?

Azure Backups are stored in Azure storage, which is automatically created by the backup service. As Azure storage is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis, this serves as a very inexpensive backup solution for your data estate in the cloud.

How do backups work in Azure?

The backup is optimized by backing up each VM disk in parallel. For each disk that's being backed up, Azure Backup reads the blocks on the disk and identifies and transfers only the data blocks that changed (the delta) since the previous backup. Snapshot data might not be immediately copied to the vault.

How do I check Azure backups?

To use Azure Backup Pre-Check, simply go to the Recovery Services Vault dashboard. Then drill down to the details of any issues by clicking on VMs showing either Warning or Critical as their status. You can then view the notification of the problem and the steps needed to correct it.

Does Azure backup data?

Azure can backup data directly from an on-premise Windows machine or Windows-based Azure VM. However, if you deploy the Data Protection Manager (DPM) or MARS backup server, you can back up any files or data volumes to Azure from any machine, either on-premise or in the cloud.
