- JayanthOnCloudCopper ContributorNo, you can use both MABS or MARS on Azure Stack HCI.
MARS agent backs up data directly to Azure, that is to recovery services vault. However, MABS backs up the data to the local storage first and then MARS agent installed on MABS server backups the local storage to vault.
