 Monitoring Azure Backup

Azure Backup provides multiple backup solutions based on the backup requirement and infrastructure topology (On-premises vs Azure). Any backup user or admin should see what's going on across all solutions and can expect to be notified in important scenarios. This article details the monitoring and notification capabilities provided by Azure Backup service.


Backup Items in Recovery Services vault


You can monitor all your backup items via a Recovery Services vault. Navigating to the Backup Instances section in Backup center opens a view that provides a detailed list of all backup items of the given workload type, with information on the last backup status for each item, latest restore point available, and so on.

Azure Backup

Azure Backup is a service provided by Microsoft Azure to back up and restore our data over the Microsoft cloud. Azure Backup replaces our existing on-premises or off-site backup solution with a cloud-based solution that is reliable, secure, and cost-competitive. It is not only used as cloud storage to back-up our data to the cloud, but we can also use our existing local disc to back-up the data.

So, Azure backup works with this heterogeneous storage environment with the combination of on-premises storage and also cloud storage. Whenever Azure backup uses local storage, we'll not get charged for it. You will only get charged when the data is backed up in the cloud.

Advantages of Azure Backup

  • Automatic storage management
  • Unlimited scaling
  • Multiple Storage options
  • Application consistent backup
  • Long-Term retention

Working of Azure backup service

Azure Backup

The first thing we do when we're using Azure backup is to define backup policy. The policy describes how frequently you need to take a backup and also which target you need to backup. After that, we also identify the destination where the data need to get stored, which in most cases, it's going to be recovery services vault. Backup of the data will not get stored in a storage account, and it will be stored in the recovery service vault, which is also an online storage facility where we can save the backup of all our virtual machines.

How to take the backup of VM using the Azure backup

Step 1: Go into Virtual Machine and click on Backup. The following window will appear once you click on backup.

Step 2: Configure the Backup policy according to your requirements and Click on Enable Back up.

Step 4: In case you would like to take a backup from the recovery services vault and choose different settings, then you can click on backup and then select where your workload is running.

 What is a Azure virtual machine? Azure VMs are one of several types of on-demand, scalable computing resources that Azure offers. With VMs, you have total control over the configuration and can install anything you need to perform the work. You don't need to purchase physical hardware when you need to scale or extend your datacenter. Finally, Azure provides additional services to monitor, secure, and manage updates and patches to the OS. Azure Virtual machine will let us create and use virtual machines in the cloud as Infrastructure as a Service. We can use an image provided by Azure, or partner, or we can use our own to create the virtual machine. Virtual machines can be created and managed using: Azure Portal Azure PowerShell and ARM templates Azure CLI Client SDK's REST APIs Features and Capabilities Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets  enable users to manage and scale up to thousands of virtual machines on both Windows and Linux platforms.

 What is Azure Load Balancer? The load balancer is used to distribute the incoming traffic to the pool of virtual machines. It stops routing the traffic to a failed virtual machine in the pool. In this way, we can make our application resilient to any software or hardware failures in that pool of virtual machines. Microsoft Azure, formerly called Windows Azure, is the public cloud computing platform from Microsoft. Azure offers a range of cloud services for computer, networking, analytics, and storage. Features of Azure load balancer Load Balancing:  Azure load balancer uses a 5-tuple hash composed of source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port, and protocol. We can configure a load balancing role within the load balancer in such a way based on the source port and source IP address from where the traffic is originating. Port forwarding:  Load balancer also has port forwarding capability if we have a pool of web servers, and we don't want to associate public IP address

Introduction Azure Tables Azure Tables are structured, schema-less NoSQL data stores in the cloud. Tables are commonly used to store flexible datasets such as user data for a web application and other kinds of metadata. In addition to Tables, Microsoft has other database offerings such as their premium NoSQL  Cosmos DB  as well as many others  SQL and NoSQL solutions. The differences between Azure Tables and Azure Cosmos DB are outlined .   What is Azure Storage Tables?   They are a NoSQL key-value store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasets Azure Storage Tables as key-value data set that you can query vs. Azure Storage Blobs which are typically files. # Getting Started Go ahead and open the Azure Portal and click  Create a Resource  and select  Azure Storage . We'll keep it simple as shown below to get started. Once complete, go into the resource and look under  Services . Go ahead and click on  Tables  and you could create a new table through the portal as
