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.66 votes -
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.

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.9 votes -

Allow recovery of just the azure vm operating system disk rather than all vm disks
We use Azure Recovery Services Vaults.
Recently one of development server operating systems became corrupted. We restored the azure virtual machine using recovery services but it restored both the OS and data disk. We only needed the OS disk and had to wait 7 hours for the entire recovery to complete.
It would be faster if we could choose to recover only the azure vm operating system drive.5 votes -

Operational Backup for Blob Storage - Point-in-time restore to new storage acccount
The recently released Operational Backup for Blob Storage supports IN-PLACE point-in-time restore.
Please enhance it to support an option for restoring a point-in-time to a different (new?) storage account. This will support workflows that need to TEST and VERIFY recovery procedures in the scope of a broader deployment without disrupting the original account, which would remain in active use for production.
Alternatively, allow restoring the point-in-time to differently-named containers (e.g. prefixed or suffixed with the restore point timestamp). I need to be able to examine the point-in-time backup w/out actually rolling back the source account/containers.

Allow more than 50 Databases for backup policies of "SQL Server in Azure VM" Azure Backups
Currently when creating a backup policy for SQL Server in Azure VM, I was limited to a selection of 50 databases, the client required 107 small databases to utilize the same backup policy. 3 new backup policies needed to be created with the same configuration just to be able to service all 107 databases. Please expand this limitation and add a disclaimer, indicating that performance of the server may be impacted to advise inexperienced azure technicians of the potential negative effects of this.

Enable backing up managed (data) disks to another region
It would be great if it would be possible to backup and restore managed data disks to a secondary region, independently of the VM, because they have separate life cycles than any other VM.

Cosmos DB Restore is SO confusing
I run into a scenario that we need to restore the cosmos DB into a certain time in the past. On the document, it only says it backs up every 4 hours and only keeps latest 2 hours. But it didn't mention anything about the customized backup policy until I reached out to MS support, and also the customized backup policy is
1. Not free (understandable)
2. Not visible anywhere from the console (Not acceptable)Why the document is not clear about how we can backup and why the policy is NOT visible to us?

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+ minutesWe think it is important to analyse the task duration for different load perspectives.
Thanks
