Azure Backup and Disaster Recovery Explained

KRKabir Rao· Cloud Solutions Architect April 26, 2026 6 min read

Cloud doesn't mean your data is automatically safe. Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery give you resilient, tested protection — if you configure and rehearse them.

The two tools

  • Azure Backup — point-in-time recovery for VMs, files, and databases
  • Azure Site Recovery — replication and failover for continuity
  • Immutable vaults — protect backups from ransomware and deletion
  • Regular restore tests — the only proof recovery actually works
Backups you've never restored are a hope, not a plan. Test the restore.

We design and manage Azure backup and DR so recovery is routine.
