Feature Request: Backup Azure File to disk

[miklashenne]

Hello,
I would like to submit a feature request for "Veeam Backup on Azure".
Currently, an Azure file can only be backed up with a snapshot. Can you please add the feature that "Azure File" can also be backed up to DISK/Blob?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Miklas

Hi Miklas!
You can use Veeam Backup & Replication NAS Backup feature for that. Please, refer to this Veeam KB article for more information.

Hi Iyudmila ,
Thank you! I am aware of the possibility. But I would like to see integration in VBA, because then there is no need to run an extra VBR server for Azure (file) backups.

Hi Miklas,

Given that all new features (workload-related) now require integration with Veeam B&R, then I wouldn't expect this duplicated feature to be natively available in the VB appliance. Veeam Data Platform is a way to go here.

Thanks!
