Azure SQL staging server sizing

Post by 479er »

Does anyone know if there's a sizing recommendation when creating the Azure SQL instance that will be used as a staging server for backing up Azure SQL databases? Does its configuration (tier, vCores, storage, etc.) have any impact in the backup process?

Any feedback is welcome.

Hi,

The sizing of the staging server depends on the size and number of databases you plan to back up with a single backup policy. Could you please share more details about your configuration?

Once we have this information, we’ll review it and get back to you with an update.

Hi,

I'll ask the DBA for that information and get back to you.

Thanks!

Lyudmila,

The DBAs are hesitant to back up the databases using Veeam, since a lot of them are in the Hyperscale tier. Does Veeam Backup for Azure handle backups of databases in said tier?

Thanks.
