Hi Team,

 

I'm new to Azure and Azure services, i have one query regarding Azure Backup service.

 

Since Azure backup will take incremental backup, i'm setting up my retention policy as 10 days.

Daily it takes incremental backup, an new .vhd file is created and mapped with my first full backup.

 

If suppose i'm adding an new file(named - test123.txt) on the 5th Day and after that i have not made any changes in it. so it will be on the 5th day incremental backup vhd file only.

Now coming to retention period, on the 16th day my 5th day incremental backup vhd file will be deleted.

 

1. Does i can retrive my test123.txt file from the backup??? 

2. Does Azure backup will take symentric full backup???

3. to retrive my test123.txt file what are the steps i need to follow???

4. Azure backup does not take full backup and differntial backup daily???(True/False)

 

 

Regards,

Charan G
