Very similar to a point-in-time recovery

Please can you publish a document(s) on how the Azure Backup process works on a technical level from start to finish.

On several occasions I have come across the situation where I have logged onto a server and noticed the Azure backup agent has gone into a stalled state where it is not performing a backup or reporting to the portal. Had I not logged onto the server and noticed this I would have assumed the backup was running fine with no issues.

Can you create a check and alert for agent health?

Now we don't have the way to check the current instance from the portal. it would be better if we could check it from the recovery services section right necxt to backup data size area.

When I receive an email alert that my job has 'completed with warnings' it would be good to see the files\folders it has failed on instead of me having to connect to the server each time.

Currently it's possible to backup VMware VMs to Azure for off-site or long term copy. It would be great if these backups could be restored in Azure as IaaS virtual machines (if the on-premises data center crashes for example).

Backup of large volumes 500TB into Azure cool/cold/archive storage.
Customer who have implemented Hadoop (Cloudera) and ADLS in the large scale need backup solution similar to tape on premise. It could be COLD solution i.e .cheep storage by expensive to retrieve data.

I know network throttling is available when you install the Azure agent on Server 2012 but can something be done for Server 2008?

User want to set an alert for his recovery services when his consumption reaches to 50 TB.

Also wants to setup an alert for money/Bill for this consumption if this reaches beyond a limit.

Allow file-level restores of Encrypted Azure VMs without MARS

Item/file-level restore from vmware snapshot backups is only possible from short-term disk recovery points. Please add the option to restore a single file from a online recovery point instead the need of restoring the whole VM.

¿Microsoft Azure ensure that Azure backups are 100% funcionals?

Many customers do not want to grant their IaaS VMs direct access to the internet. Forced tunneling prevents the Azure Backup Service from protecting Azure IaaS VMs. If the Azure Backup VM Extension was allowed to talk directly the Recovery Service Vault through internal traffic in the datacenter, VMs would not need Internet access for backups to complete successfully.

With the latest update, customers can specify daily, weekly, monthly and yearly retention policies. Customers can now retain their data for up to 99 years in Azure! If you are using tapes to address your long term retention needs – this release provides a compelling value prop to use Azure to address your backup and long term retention needs.

Currently having to setup a manual process of backing up vm's to a DR in a separate subscription and region. It would be nice if could use azure site recovery services to do this.

NDMP support for Azure backup

The config.json file included with an Azure VM's backup state does not include metadata about the 'availability set' nor the attached NIC card resources. In order to allow the freedom to re-create the same VM state from a backup, this additional metadata is necessary.
