Description

Azure Backup offers the ability to use your own encryption keys for securing backup data. This capability is supported for Recovery Services Vaults and is extended for Backup Vaults. You can use Customer Managed Keys (CMK) when creating a new backup vault or update the encryption settings for an existing vault to use CMK. CMK for Backup Vaults is now generally available in all Azure Public regions.
