  3. Add azure backup support for SAP ASE (Sybase)

    As Sybase license are (almost) free for HANA customers...some will use Sybase for other SAP workloads ;-)
    Backing up the whole VM and using SAP tools to do so currently is tedious and manual. How nice it would be if you could have azure backup take care of that and have the SAP ASE backup artefacts managable in azure and speed up the restore. Our Current DB sizes are 50GB - 500GBs.
    Enabling a scenario like this would help in getting SAP customers onboarded to azure.

  4. Blob storage - Add a Backup & Restore feature

    Regarding the blob, geo-replication is very cool for the HA side, but it is not a backup.

    It would be nice to be able to backup a blob storage on another blob storage, to cover against an accidental deletion of the storage account via the portal, or from the code by an error of a programmer by the use SDK (call API) that does not control recursion (and delete calls).

  8. Integrate Azure Web App Service Backup with Azure Backup

    Azure Application Service has a built in backup facility that allows you to Schedule a backup of the Application Service once a day.

    There is no built in method to Alert when a backup fails. It would be great if these backups could be viewed in the Azure Backup Vault with Azure IaaS backups. This would enable all backups to be monitored in one place and the reporting and Alerting features here could be utilized for App Service backups.

  11. Add azure backup support for SAP MaxDB

    We have som customers who wants to use their SAP System in the Azure cloud. But for this we need a proper backup solution.
    SInce HANA Backup is supported via backint it should be possible to add support for MaxDB as well (Please see http://maxdb.sap.com/archive/AIO.Link.Target/Backint%20for%20SAP%20MaxDB.pdf).
    I am sure this would be a very nice opportunity for many customers.

  14. azure backup job details status details start time system state

    Hi Microsoft
    We would like to ensure that if we have setup a specified backup time for system state backup the Job detail(completed) should show the start time same as scheduled time.
    Currently it is off by 20+ minutes

    We think it is important to analyse the task duration for different load perspectives.

    Thanks

  15. Backup a complete resource group into a blob

    Azure should provision an ability to backup / snapshot a complete resource group . Using snapshot we should be able to recover any resource in that resource group

  16. Azure Backup RHEL Linux 8 install all required dependencies

    Ensure that when enabling Azure Backup for IaaS VM's that all required components are installed to allow the backup agent to run as expected. Currently the Linux Backup Agent is installed, but it requires Python 2.6.6+ to run. The RHEL 8 template does not have Python installed whereas prior to RHEL 8 Python is installed (at least in the RHEL 7.6 that I had also tried).

    Also the backup scripts for Linux are python scripts that need to be downloaded and run, they appear to be Python 2.x syntax which does not run if Python 3.x is installed.

    In general…
