How to Take backup of Virtual Machines using Recovery Service Vault in Azure - AZ-103
To take virtual
machine backup refer this link as appears here
There is another way also to take a backup of virtual machines,
AZURE Fieshare(preview) and SQL Server in Azure VM .
I’ll be explaining about virtual machine backup through
Azure recovery service vault.
To achieve this open a Azure recovery service vault and go
to backup option available in left pane as shown in below window:

- Choose backup policy : Backup policy specifies frequency and time at which vm will be backed up and for how long it will be retained .You can create new policy or use default policy. In my case I have opted default policy
- Backup Frequency: Daily at 11:00 PM UTC.
- Instant restore : Retain instant recovery snapshot for 2 days.
- Retention Range: Retain backup taken every day at 11:00 PM for 30 Day(s).
You can also refer an image backup-policy.jpg
shown below and click on ok .
Once you click on ok with default
policy it takes you to next level to take items to backup. You should be able
to see the list of Virtual machines
which exist in same region as service vault to take backup further. Refer an
image items-to-backup.jpg
as appears below:
As soon as you click on ok, it
starts taking backup generally it takes few mins to take backup of virtual
machine and after successful deployment it updates the table in backup items in
Service recovery vault as shown in image backup-items.jpg
Click on Azure virtual machine ,
It opens a new screen and shows a last backup status with pending You have to click again on the
Virtual machine record to take backup right now.

An given below image is self
explanatory like backup pre-check as passed however with initial status pending. Click on backup
and provide the date till you want to keep backup
After successful
backup of virtual machine it shows and
update last backup status as successful. It also states you about consistency
level while taking backup
In general these are described as follows
Application Consistency :
This is one of the potential and consistent if you have Microsoft workload and
it also ensures following parameters
1 . No data loss
2. No Corruption
3. Ensure VM boots
4. The data is consistent
to the application that uses the data, by involving the application at the time
of backup--using VSS.
Crash consistency: This snapshots generally occurs
when VM shuts down while taking backup
and only keeps the data that already exists on the disk at the time of
backup is captured and backup.
