Overall Satisfaction with Azure Backup

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Azure backup as the single source for our IaaS VMs hosted in Azure. We do not layer on any third-party tools in addition to the native Azure backup services.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Backing up Azure IaaS VMs.
Easy to manage using the Azure portal.
Can restore file-level data or the entire VM. Your option.

Not sure, but maybe it's time to restore an entire VM?

Return on Investment

We have spent no additional money on backups or backup process.
We have spent no additional money on training for the backup process.
We have not experienced any technical issues with the backup process or restoration process.

Azure backup is easy to implement, accessible by using the web portal GUI, and has the ability to restore at the file level or the complete VM. We have experienced zero issues with the backup process or performing file-level restorations. We have not restored an entire VM to date.
