Microsoft offers the Azure Backup service, which backs up data to the Microsoft Azure cloud. Azure backup supports on-premises machines and workloads, as well as Azure virtual machines (VMs).
Azure Backup is based on the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent. The agent sends data to an Azure Backup Solutions Vault, which in turn connects to an Azure storage account. You configure a backup schedule, and backups start to flow from your machines to the designated Azure storage volume.
A closely-related service is Azure Site Recovery. While Azure backup lets you create copies of your data and VMs, the Azure Site Recovery service provides a full disaster recovery solution, replicating VMs from a primary to a secondary location, then enabling failover to the secondary location when disaster strikes.
What Can You Back Up with Azure?
Azure can back up 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.
