Azure Recovery Services-Backup to the cloud using Windows Backup

With Microsoft Azure Recovery Services, we can protect our on-premises data centers to data via Windows Backup DPM Backup to the Azure cloud. And Azure's cheap on-demand billing to storage can also save a lot of our storage investment. Azure Backup's basic workflow for backing up and restoring files and folders through the Microsoft Azure backup agent is the same as using any other type of backup workflow: Identify the items to be backed up, and then copy them to the store for later use.

The following example describes using Windows Backup to back up files to Azure.

First, log in to the Azure console and create a backup vault in the recovery service.

After the vault is created, download the vault credentials and the Azure backup agent for Windows Server and DPM, which has a two-day validity period after the credential is generated.
