VM Backup
I have 1 VMrunning in Azure. I added 3TB standard disk storage to that server and created a secondary disk to upload all of my data. This server is acting as a file server. I setup backup vault and the sever is taking daily/nightly snapshots, but want i want to know is how is this data backed up? Is the VM backed up entirely including the 3TB standard storage that i have attached to it or not?
