Store your Azure backups in an Azure Cool Account

Are you aware that Backup Systems can take care of your Azure Virtual Machine backups? Cheap-long term storage is enough to peak anyone’s interest, and with no hassle whatsoever you’d be a fool not to trust Backup Systems to do all the work for you. Of course, Azure has the benefits of being encrypted, deduplicated, and compressed, but let’s go through some of the other benefits and ways in which these backups can help you in the long run.

Your Azure backups can be stored directly in what’s known as ‘Azure cool storage accounts’. With Backup Systems software being able to store the backup directly in a storage account, this method will require zero local storage and instead can utilise much cheaper Azure storage. Also, with the backup being in Azure already, when it comes time to do a restore, you can do it instantly! Not only does this save you a ton of time, but it’s also RTO (recovery time objective) compliant. Furthermore, because the backup takes place in Azure and is sent directly to the storage account, so your local network won’t be impacted.

These types of cool storage accounts are ideal for archiving data in a storage location that you plan on storing backup copies of for a long time. The idea is that this data would not be accessed very often, and as such are given the name ‘cool’ to relate to the small amount of times a user would end up accessing them.

But what options do we have for Azure? Well, Backup Systems can not only backup the virtual machine hard disks, but we can also conduct a full backup of the configuration of the virtual machine! This will include the virtual network, network interfaces, public IP addresses, and network security groups. No doubt all of these are important to you, and we know you want to take care of your Azure virtual machines, so let Backup Systems take care of it.
