Back Up an Azure File Share with Azure Backup

[@peterdolina850]

Very well done. All the other instructors could listen to this video and notice one important feature: You can understand the instructor! That is quite unique. In addition, the structure is well built, clear, excellently prepared and presented.

Great video, provided great clarity on this topic (the mix of technical overview and a live demo in the portal is really helpful) - cheers!

[@1BAmir]

Great video, the overview and the particle was on point! Thank you so much.

Good video. Covered a lot of things i had to figure out. Question. Does it seem odd you cant do more than one daily backup? Historically we do snapshots ever 2-4 hours depending on what it is with Veeam. We lost that ability when moving to azure files. If a person works on file all day long then someone deletes it, they lost a full day of data. We are covering that a bit with local shadowcopies. But that gets icky IMO and i prefer not to count on that. we played with using runbooks to get more snapshots. but that is clunky and disconnected . Seems so simple to add a repeat daily ever x hours.

[@Ciraltos]

Great suggestion!

[@rameshboddu8814]

Great video. Thanks for the details. It would be great if you can cover Disaster Recovery for FileShare as well.

[@Ciraltos]

Thank you!

[@goon8000]

Great walkthrough. Appreciated!

[@pacifier316]

As always, great! Thank you for your dedication to help the community! I have a question, is it possible to backup a file share more than once per day? If so, how can this be accomplished. Thank you again!

[@Ciraltos]

Thank you. Unfortunately, daily is the most frequent option.

[@Kosantosh]

Great work Travis concept is clear, can i list all the fileshares from different storage account in one place?, which are not configured for backup

[@wickrambug]

Hey there., Thank you for the great video. I have a quick clarification. What happens if I delete the storage account that contains the file share after removing the resource lock? Can I restore the file share within the deleted storage account with the help of recovery service vault? The snapshots are stored under the same storage account as per the MS documentation. Thus, the deletion of the storage account will remove all the snapshots as well. So how can we recover from this? Appreciate your inputs and thank you so much for your time.

Great Videos. I see the Azure backup allows 200 snapshots over 10 years. Our company requires a backup every day for 7 years - is there any to archive the snapshots so you're able to store say 2500 snapshots? Thanks again.

Great Video and very useful information

[@Ciraltos]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the Video Travis. Is there a way to enable more frequent "Previous Versions" than one day, using this Azure Backup? Our on-prem "Previous Versions" are taken many times a day. I would like to replicate this when using Azure Files Shares. (Maybe a question for Fabin Uhse :) )

[@Ciraltos]

Once a day is the minimum frequency for the schedule. It would be helpful to be able to set this more frequent, especially for data with a high change rate.

Easy, Fast and Good video. conitune like this

Hi Travis, question can we backup data to on-prem from Azure file share/sync. we are using symantec BackupExec

[@GiggaGMikeE]

Can I use a backup Vault from the same region but a different resource group for fileshare backups?

[@chachaman4980]

Can this solution also backup One Drive files?

[@ramp79]

Great explanation

[@jaggyjut]

What if we need 7 year’s retention period? Thank you 😊

[@Ciraltos]

You can set the monthly or yearly retention period on the backup schedule for 7 years. The backup exists on the storage account, so that needs to be retained for 7 years also.

Great info
