Backing up Azure VM's with disks greater than 1TB
Dave, thank you for your response.
My query was not referring to on-premise VM or disks. We have several VM's in the cloud with disks larger than 1TB and we can't use the standard backup tool to protect them.
Hi Greg,
Are you using Azure Recovery Service Vault for backup ?
Hi Kasun.
We would make use of Azure Recovery Service Vault for backup, but the limitation of 1TB disks prevents us from using it, unless there is a workaround?
Hi Greg,
Yes Azure backup still not supporting more than 1TB disks. There wont be a workaround for this because its a Azure infrastructure limitation. But I can give you a suggestion to try
First Create a VM in Azure and install Azure Backup Server (Free), by using it you can backup VMs to Azure Recovery Service Vault.
Keep in mind we use azure backup server to backup on-prem servers to Azure.
Use following guide to configure Azure Backup Server
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-microsoft-azure-backup
Disclaimer :- I wan't be taking any responsibility of any production workload failures. Please try in test environment before use it in production
Thanks
Thank you Kasun.
We will investigate this option.
Thanks again.
Greg
