Centralized Management

Azure Backup is easy to use with simple installation and configuration. Additionally, on-premises and cloud backups are centralized in the Backup Center or Recovery Services Vault. This makes it possible for businesses to configure and monitor backup policies from a central console.

Automated Backup Policies

With Azure Backup, organizations can set up automated backup policies to schedule regular backups of their resources. This feature helps ensure that backups are taken consistently without manual intervention, eliminating the risk of human error.

Application Consistency

Azure Backup guarantees the app-aware capture of application backups, such as databases, in a coherent state. Such app-consistent backups capture memory content and pending input-output operations, diminishing the likelihood of data corruption during recovery.

Long-Term Retention

Long-term retention can be enabled for Azure services like the SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance. Organizations can then define retention policies to keep backup data for extended periods and meet compliance and regulatory requirements.

Hybrid Backup

Azure Backup supports hybrid backup processes by providing organizations with on-premises storage and public cloud as data backup destinations. The hybrid backup feature allows users to protect on-premises resources through the Azure Backup Agent.

Security

Azure Backup provides high-level encryption that secures data in transit and at rest, making the platform significantly secure. Azure Backup servers are geo-redundant, so if servers go down in a single data center location, they are already backed up and ready to go in several other areas worldwide.

Integration

Azure offers an end-to-end backup and disaster recovery solution that’s simple, secure, scalable, and cost-effective. Aside from integration with Azure Site Recovery, this platform pairs seamlessly with on-premises data protection solutions.

Point-in-Time Recovery

Azure Cosmos DB’s application-aware point-in-time restore feature helps restore data to specific points in time, ensuring organizations recover from data loss scenarios precisely. These scenarios include accidental write or delete operations within a container, restoring a deleted account, database, or container, or restoring into any region where backup exists.

Secure Your Data with Azure Backup

Azure Backup provides a centralized backup service and solution that helps organizations protect their data. This platform eliminates infrastructure costs simply and intuitively, and empowers organizations to quickly backup and restore entire virtual machines, files, folders, or SQL databases.
