Azure - Global Backup
Hi,
We have a tool that backs up the Office365 part, but we are deploying new infrastructure and applications on Azure. Doubts arise about whether it is possible to backup not only virtual machines, but also the configuration of any resource. For example, if a Workbook is deleted, make it possible to recover it. If we deploy Grafana, make a backup and we can recover its state to how it was a few days before.
Is there a tool that does this or do I have to rely on what Microsoft allows on each resource, if any?
Thanks!
There are backup and recovery tools available for Azure that can help you backup not only virtual machines but also other resources such as workbooks, dashboards, and configurations of various Azure services.
