Hi Team,
We are already using Azure file Storage. This is to copy files directly to Azure Storage (file shares). A virtual drive has been mapped for this storage.
Since Azure File Storage does not support Recovery/Restore Points (i.e. restore a file one week old) or Point in Time copies, we need to use Azure Backup which has these Point in Time/Recovery Points capabilities which will allows us to restore files like 2 days old in case a file has been delete or overwritten.
Per our research, Azure File Storage backed up directly to Azure Backup is not possible (yet).
Backup of Azure Storage is only possible on BLOB Storage but not Azure File Storage. See links below.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-introduction-to-azure-backup
https://github.com/levibotelho/azure-blob-backup
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-try-azure-backup-in-10-mins
Is there any possibiltity to achieve this with current capabilities or if not, has this been taken in to the timelines for future deliveries ? any feedback is really appreciated !
Thank You

Hi Kalamar,
Is there any chance you could put me on the preview list? We have some customers going to Azure files. Backup with Azure backup would be a great benefit here.

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
