Microsoft® Azure Backup Server v3

With Microsoft Azure Backup, you can protect application workloads such as Hyper-V VMs, Microsoft SQL Server, SharePoint Server, Microsoft Exchange and Windows clients to:
- Disk (D2D), giving high RTOs for tier 1 workloads
- Azure (D2D2C) for long term retention.
Also, now with MABS v3, VMware is supported in production when Azure Backup Server is deployed on Windows 2016 or Windows 2019


You can deploy Microsoft Azure Backup server (MABS) as:
- A physical standalone server.
- A Hyper-V virtual machine - You can run MABS as a virtual machine hosted on an on-premises Hyper-V host server, to back up on-premises data.
- A Windows virtual machine in VMWare - You can deploy MABS to provide protection for Microsoft workloads running on Windows virtual machines in VMWare. In this scenario MABS can be deployed as a physical standalone server, as a Hyper-V virtual machine, or as a Windows virtual machine in VMWare.
- An Azure virtual machine - You can run MABS as a virtual machine in Azure to back up cloud workloads running as Azure virtual machines.
