Conversational Azure backup best practices
10 Azure backup best practices, directly from
two Microsoft MVPs!
Based on Microsoft’s Shared Responsibility Model, it’s the user’s responsibility to plan and implement a backup and recovery strategy for their Azure data. There are native services in place that allow you to back up Azure VMs, and there are many vendors that offer an Agent-based approach for both Microsoft Azure backups and on-premises workloads. However, data protection in the cloud isn't always straightforward, so leveraging limited or legacy backup methods can present certain challenges.
First, snapshots of Azure VMs are not real backups, and therefore cannot be leveraged for long-term data retention and recovery. Aged snapshots are also costly when they’re kept in Azure for longer than a few days. Manual scripting to automate native Azure VM snapshots can quickly become complex, especially in large environments.
Secondly, an Agent-based approach for Azure backup is not the best option either, since Agents require resource-intensive deployment, are hard to scale appropriately and take up additional VM space.
Whenever you leverage a cloud-native backup solution like Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, an image-based backup is created automatically from native Azure VM snapshots based on your chosen backup policy. This allows for greater control and management of your daily data protection operations and policy deployments along with improved application-aware processing and quicker recoveries for Azure VMs.
For more details, watch this short video here.
In short, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure can automatically create and manage snapshots and backups of Azure VMs (including managed or unmanaged VHDs) along with VM configuration. Backup chains can be created with image-level backups or snapshots. Image-level backups can include full and incremental backups, and cloud-native snapshots include point-in-time snapshots. Recovery can be performed at the full- or file-level in just seconds.
All in all, going from Azure Marketplace to connecting a Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure appliance to your account and setting up the backup policy takes no more than 15 minutes!
Microsoft does not keep backups of your data. Per their Shared Responsibility Model, it is your responsibility to ensure that your data is secured and protected, depending on whether it is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Software as a Service (SaaS) that’s being consumed.
The backup and recovery of data in Azure remains the responsibility of the end user, according to the Microsoft Shared Responsibility Model. Without backup and recovery, your applications and/or data can’t be restored to overcome data loss due to accidental deletion, cybersecurity threats, ransomware, outage, etc. Veeam delivers enterprise-grade Azure backup and recovery that’s cost-effective and secure, so you’re protected against any cloud data loss.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure allows you to create image-level backup chains from native Azure VM snapshots.
Both full and incremental backup files will be included into the following chains:
We leverage the forever-forward incremental backup method to create a backup chain for Azure VMs. This means that during the first backup session, a full backup file will be created in a backup repository from a copied Azure VM image. This will be a starting point for the backup chain, and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will further copy only the data blocks that have changed.
Both full and incremental backup files will serve as restore points for your Azure backups, and you can easily roll back to whatever point-in-time you choose.
