    Hi I setup up a small Azure Virtual Network for a healthcare client.  I just helped save some data for them because of the VM's auto daily backup.  I would like to test or preview the backup of their shared file storage when ready.

     

    For now I will need to copy from the shared h drive to one of the VMs C drive using a job every night before the 1 am backup.  Very high priority if I set up other client Virtual Networks with a shared drive.

     

    Thank you
