Does backing up your Azure VM environment seem overwhelming? Don’t just assume that since it’s in the cloud, it’s safe from Ransomware or corruption! You should backup your VMs! Follow these steps to add your Azure environment to BDRsuite and backup your VMs.

First, make sure AZURE BACKUP is selected under Cloud Workloads when installing BDRSuite!

Click BACKUP SERVER and AZURE ACCOUNTS.Next, click the CLOUD WORKLOADS dropdown at the top of the screen and make sure AZURE is enabled.Click DATA SOURCES and select ADD AZURE ACCOUNT.Click the red ADD AZURE ACCOUNT button.
Enter an account name, Tenant ID, Application ID, and Application Password. If you aren’t sure how to set these up, you can check out this HELP DOCUMENT on how to setup BDRSuite for Azure VM Backup.
Once the account is setup, click BACKUP – CONFIGURE BACKUP – AZURE.Enter the backup job name, choose if you want Azure Snapshots only or if you want a copy of the backup in another location, such as on-prem, or even an AWS S3 Bucket. Click NEXT::VM SELECTION.Click the dropdown and select the Account name, subscription, and resource group. Click LIST VMs. Select the checkbox next to the VM(s) you want to backup and click NEXT::SCHEDULINGChoose how often you want the VM(s) backed up.
