Azure Backup Center

• This is a central service for backup of many Azure Services including virtual machines, Disks. Refer Here for the official docs
• Create a vault:
  • Backup Vault
    
    
    
• Now ensure you have a vm with data disks attached. In this demonstration we have a vm with
  • os disk: 30 GB
  • Data disk 1 : 1 GB
  • Data disk 2 : 2 GB
• Ensure the disks are formatted and mounted to vm with some data in it
• Lets configure backup for managed disks
  
  
  
• Datasources tab refers to the source resources, here add data disks (we skipped os disk intentionally)
• We need a dedicated resource group for storing snapshots (in this case i’m using the same resource group as vm’s)
  
  
  
  
• We have triggered the manual backup for 2 disks
  
• Note: We will keep this vm and backups up till next session.

Azure File Share

• As discussed in class we were able to mount on two vms.
