Module introduction
In this article, we explore the essential objectives for ensuring your data is both secure and recoverable in Azure. Our focus begins with the powerful Azure Backup Solution, designed to safeguard your files, folders, and complete virtual machines from data loss caused by accidental deletions or cyberattacks.
Overview of Azure Backup Solution
The Azure Backup Solution provides robust mechanisms to preserve your data. You will learn how to set up backups for individual files and folders, ensuring seamless data preservation and quick recovery. Key features such as redundancy and soft-delete are managed through the Azure Recovery Services Vault, which plays a pivotal role in overseeing and executing backup and recovery processes.
Additionally, the guide covers the protection of entire virtual machines (VMs). By following the outlined steps, you can secure your VM environments and ensure rapid restoration in case of any failures.
Our discussion also includes an in-depth look at Azure Site Recovery—a disaster recovery service that replicates your virtual machines to a secondary region. This replication allows you to run your VMs in an alternate location, ensuring business continuity even when unforeseen issues arise.
With this comprehensive overview of Azure data protection strategies, let's embark on a journey that begins with mastering the Azure Backup Solution, setting the stage for resilient and recoverable infrastructures in the cloud.
