From BMR (Bare Metal Restore) to SQL databases, Azure Backup now gives you one centralized location to manage your data and infrastructure. In this article, we will cover several ways Azure allows you to backup your services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first one is directly through their Virtual Machine configuration setup. With just a click of a button, you can have your VM on Azure backup schedule as soon as your machine is created. (Please note that to use Azure Backup Services, it does require you to have Recovery Service Vault. You can either create prior to setting up your other resources that will use it or have Azure create while standing up the VM. To learn more about Azure Recovery Services Vaults, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/backup\/backup-azure-recovery-services-vault-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">click here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1236\" height=\"868\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Enable_Backup_from_VM_config.png\" alt=\"Enable Backup from VM config\" class=\"wp-image-36704\"\/><figcaption><br>Fig 1.1 Enable Backup from VM config<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create Backup Through Azure Recovery Service Vault<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enable Azure Backup Service through the Recovery Vault blade as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Search for Recovery Services Vaults<em> <\/em>in the Search bar in the middle of your portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/virtual-dba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Recovery_Services_Vaults_search.png\" alt=\"Recovery Services Vaults search\" class=\"wp-image-36716\"\/><figcaption><br>Fig 1.2 Recovery Services Vaults search<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Select the Recovery Vault you want to set your backups in.

This section has already selected defaults for and Azure workload for a VM (Azure\/Azure Stack\/On-Premise); however, if you click on the dropdowns, you will see what other workloads and backup items you can backup.
