The first step in preventing data loss in Azure is to back up your data. As a user of an Azure virtual machines, you can rest assured we take three copies of your VM and store it in Azure Storage so that if any machine goes down, we can restore one of those copies. Yet you still need Azure Backup to protect your data against ransomware, corruption or accidental deletion.
With our integration into the virtual machine experience, built-in security, and cloud datacentres all over the world, this cost-effective solution ensures that your data will be protected for when the unexpected or unthinkable happens.
