Image-level backups can include full and incremental backups, and cloud-native snapshots include point-in-time snapshots. Backup chains can be created with image-level backups or snapshots. 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. This allows for greater control and management of your daily data protection operations and policy deployments, as well as improved application-aware processing and quicker recovery for Azure VMs.įor more details, watch this short video here. Whenever you use a cloud-native backup solution like Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure, an image-based backup is created automatically from native Azure VM snapshots that are based on your chosen backup policy. 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.
#Veeam backup manual
Manual scripting to automate native Azure VM snapshots can also quickly become complex, especially in large environments. Aged snapshots are also costly when they’re kept in Azure for longer than a few days. However, data protection in the cloud isn't always straightforward, so leveraging limited or legacy backup methods can present some challenges.įirst, Azure VM snapshots are not real backups, and therefore cannot be leveraged for long-term data retention and recovery. There are native services in place that allow you to back up Azure VMs, Azure SQL and Azure Files, and there are many vendors that offer agent-based approaches for both Azure backups and on-premises workloads.
