Microsoft Azure Backup – Product Review

Microsoft Azure Backup is offered as a stand-alone service by Microsoft Azure. Accessed through the Azure console, it facilitates centralized oversight and management of backup and recovery activities. Not covered in this research is the separate and complementary Azure Site Recovery service, which offers DRaaS capabilities including replication and failover, recovery orchestration and workload migration.

Microsoft Azure Backup can back up and offers granular (e.g., of specific files and folders or individual SQL databases on Azure), application-consistent restores for a number of sources including:

  • Azure File Shares
  • Azure VMs
  • SQL Server in Azure VMs
  • SAP HANA in Azure VMs
  • On-premises – bare metal, VMware, and Hyper-V VMs
  • On-premises – file storage, SQL servers, SharePoint, and Exchange servers

Customers can restore to an on-premises system or in the Azure cloud. The product also can maintain policies for long-term data retention and apply them on demand. For security purposes, data at rest is encrypted and multi-factor authentication is used. Soft delete, with a retention of 14 days is enabled free of charge to protect backup data from accidental and malicious deletes. Dynamic reporting, including alerting of suspicious behavior, is included. The service is managed to 99.9% of availability with remedial actions including credits outlined by Microsoft. Front- and back-end resources are included. The customer is responsible for managing backup and restore activities.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
