Azure Backup now supports Elastic SAN, offering a fully
managed solution for backing up and restoring Elastic SAN volumes. This
integration helps protect data against accidental deletions, ransomware
attacks, and application updates by exporting Elastic SAN volumes to
independent Managed Disk Incremental Snapshots. These snapshots are stored in
locally redundant storage and are independent of the Elastic SAN volume
lifecycle.
The solution supports up to 450 restore points with 24 hours
backup frequency. It is currently available in select Azure regions and
supports volumes up to 4 TiB. Long-term vaulted backups and hourly backups are
not supported in this preview.
This public preview does not incur Azure Backup Protected
Instance fees. However, standard charges apply for Managed Disk Incremental
Snapshots.
To get started, visit the Azure Business Continuity Center
and configure protection for your Elastic SAN volumes.
