ASR Vs Azure backup

Azure site recovery feature is for onprem datacenter recovery.
you can use site recovery for your Azure VM's to another datacenter, but these are treated as physical servers and does not allow a simple fail back method. (Azure VM's are now in preview, but i have not tested this. i know it has been a requested feature for sometime. so i assume you no longer have to treat them as physical machines. Read about the new feature here)
Also site recovery has the option of creating recovery plans for how the datacenter should be restored, like network, disk location and so on.
VM backup(backup), gives you the option backup and restore to a new VM or just export the disk to storage.
