Consider the recommendations in this section while implementing your business continuity plan.

  • Use Azure Backup with Azure Backup Server to back up the AVS private cloud. See more at: Back up VMware VMs with Azure Backup Server .
  • Deploy the Microsoft Azure Backup Server in the same region as the AVS private cloud.
  • MABS can be deployed as an Azure IaaS VM or within the AVS private cloud. It is highly recommended to deploy it outside of the AVS private cloud in an Azure Virtual Network that is connected to the same ExpressRoute to reduce vSAN consumption as this is a ‘limited capacity’ resource within the AVS private cloud.

  • If restoration from a backup is needed for AVS platform components like vCenter, NSX manager or HCX manager, a support ticket should be opened from the Azure Portal Help + Support section .
