Introduction to the Windows Azure Recovery services Feature

When it comes to Windows Azure, it's not a default topic anymore, but functionality is always updated, and occasionally updates some new features or some of the integrity and usability of old features. Not much to say, today talk about the recovery services on Azure (backup and restore features), in fact, the recovery service on Azure is the Windows Backup feature, which can bring the local computer by downloading and installing the agent, Once you have verified the service, you can back up the system state or files to a vault on Windows Azure so that the data types that are relatively backed up are more secure, but there is also a problem that if you back up your local data to a Windows Azure vault, you need to use a lot of bandwidth. Therefore, the personal feel that the big data backup is still a certain concern, when the internal budget of the enterprise enough is a better solution, specifically, not to say, specifically, see below:

We first need to configure Azure's backup recovery service, and Azure's backup recovery service is basically the same as the Windows Backup service that comes with the local system, so it's relatively simple to operate.

First, create a backup vault:

Log in to the Azure management portal to select Data Services

We will then back up some data files for viewing, because the backup system state file is relatively large, so create some small files for demonstration

We create a azure_data_backup folder under C, and then create some demo files under the folder
