Azure Backup Network Efficiency 1. Identify changed blocks 2. Compress Efficient change tracking Transfer only changed content Compression for low bandwidth consumption Customer Premises
Azure Backup Security 1 Azure Backup Customer Premises 1. Identify changed blocks 2. Compress 3. Encrypt 256 -bit encryption In transit and at rest Admin owns and manages keys 4. Encrypted data in backup vault
Azure Backup Security 2 Only you have your key Data cannot be recovered without your key Microsoft does not have your key. Azure … and remains encrypted while stored. …encrypted on the network… Data is encrypted on-premises…
Azure Storage replication option can be set ONLY when no workloads are protected, and no data are already stored in Azure. GRS • • • LRS • • 3 copies in 2 different Azure data centers This is the default GRS doubles the storage cost for the solution 3 copies in 1 Azure data center Normal cost for storage

Linux running as Hyper-V guest (Hyper-V running on Windows Server 2016/2019/2012 R 2/2012) can be protected with DPM/Azure Backup Server. Azure Backup Agent can’t protect Linux VMs/Physical machines. For Azure VM Linux backups, Azure Backup supports the list of distributions endorsed by Azure , except Core OS Linux and 32 -bit operating system Check the full support matrix for all the products: • General • MABS/DPM • MARS • Azure VM backup
Getting Started with Azure Backup On-Premises Get an Azure Subscription Create a Recovery Services Vault Download necessary files Install and register the Recovery Services agent Backup your data
Create Azure Backup 1. Go to Azure Management Portal, https: //portal. azure. com 2. Browse the “+New” icon , Select Management Tools > Backup and Site Recovery (OMS)
Download the Backup Agent & Vault Credentials 1. Configure Backup goal with answering below questions: Where is your workload running ? (Azure / Onpremises) What do you want to backup ? 2. Download Backup Agent and Vault Credentials for on -premises workloads.
Network Connectivity for Azure Backup Extension connectivity to Azure Public IP’s Network Security Groups – can use service tag for "Azure. Backup" HTTP Proxy
Register Your Server to Azure Backup Service 1. Install MARSAgent – MARSAgent. Installer. exe 2. Register the server 3. Create the Pass. Phrase Key 4. Complete the registration
Protect Your Server 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Start Azure Backup Select the items to back up Configure Exclusions Specify the Date and Time Specify Retention Choose Backup Type
Scenario #1, Enterprise and Branch Office Backup Microsoft Azure Solutions: • Cloud as tape replacement • Minimize local storage • Workload backup to Azure • Centralized management • Restore data to alternate server Azure Backup Data Protection Manager or Azure Backup Server Production Data
Scenario #2, On-premises to Azure Deployment Models Workload backup to Azure via System Center Data Protection Manager or Azure Backup Server (D-D-C) System Center Data Protection Manager or Azure Backup Server Microsoft Azure Backup Service File/Folder backup to Azure (D-C) Azure Backup Agent On-premises – built and managed infrastructure Cloud – flexible, and remote infrastructure
Scenario #3, Deployment Models within Cloud VM Extension Microsoft Azure Backup Azure Service Azure Backup Agent System Center Data Protection Manager or Azure Backup Server
Scenario #4, Backup of Azure Iaa. S VMs Microsoft Azure Virtual machines Cloud Data Backup • Application consistent backup for MS workloads File System Consistent for Linux workloads • Fabric level protection
Scenario #5, Backup of SQL Server in Azure Iaa. S VMs Microsoft Azure Virtual machines Cloud Data Backup SQL Server Database in Azure VM • Backup SQL Server databases on Windows Server • Enterprise scale, zero-infrastructure solution • One-click, point-in-time restores
Deployment Models Characteristics Disk to disk to cloud backup - Faster operational recovery from disk backups (D to C) Requires additional server and local disks Workload backup (File/Folder, SQL Server, Exchange Server, Share. Point, Client, Hyper-V VM, VMware VM) Only System Center Data Protection Manager server needs internet connectivity Flexible backup schedule Central Backup Policy Enforcement (backup policy or encryption keys) Licensing tied to System Center Requires Azure subscription only to backup to Azure System Center Data Protection Manager and Azure Backup • • Microsoft Azure Backup Server Works just like System Center Data Protection Manager and Azure Backup except: • Requires Azure subscription always • Pay as you go license - tied to Azure subscription (SQL Server License bundled with Azure backup server) • Cost effective for SMB • No tape backup support Note: Can perform disk to disk backup (or) disk to cloud backup - sending backup data to Azure is optional Microsoft Azure Backup Agent (MARS agent) • • No on-premises storage (D to C) No additional infrastructure needed File/folder protection only (no other workloads) Windows Servers require internet connectivity Self Service Backup and Recovery Maximum backups can be thrice a day and single backup policy per server No central enforcement of encryption keys or policy

Restoring unmanaged VMs and disks as managed • Restore unmanaged disks as managed disks • This feature isn't available for unmanaged encrypted VMs. https: //docs. microsoft. com/en-us/azure/backup-azure-arm-restore-vms#restoring-unmanaged-vms-and-disksas-managed
Selective disks backup for Azure Virtual Machines • • Users who have critical data to be backed up in only one or subset of disk(s) and don’t want backup for rest of the disks attached to a VM to minimize the backup storage costs. Users using other backup solutions for their databases and they want to backup only their OS disk to optimize backup cost.
