Hi guys,

I can't seem to search this scenario.

Can Azure be used as a Hot Backup? An on-prem server is backed up on the the Azure Cloud. When some disaster befalls the on prem server, can we switch to the cloud server?

Most document just discusses the backup and restore capabilities of Azure but not as hot backup capabilities.

Thanks,

Jojo

Hi Jojo,

You can backup your op-promise server on Azure Cloud. Please refer to this page about how to configure it:

But for Azure Backup how to work, I suggest you can post this issue on Azure back up forum for more details.
