I have an existing vault that uses GRS storage. I want to make use of the new LRS storage available. However this LRS choice is available only to new vaults created.

I don't want to lose the data that has already been backed up to Azure. Can I migrate my data and vault from GRS storage to LRS storage?

Many use cases for DR-BCP involve recovery testing on quarterly or biannual basis. Having access to a RA-GRS recovery vault in paired region would enable these BCP best practices for recovery from backups as a DR strategy.

There are instances where customer would like to purge the previous Backup Data and start afresh but the limitation to trigger new Backup after 14 days do not let them to suffice the requirement. Also, if we want to change the recovery service vault to configure new Backup, it doesn't allow it to configure instantly and hence, it would be highly recommended to provide administrative access on soft delete if it can be disabled to configure new backup and then can be re-enabled.

Add support for some kind of storage tier in Azure Backup that moves older snapshot/backup copies from hot to cold storage.

Currently we can change storage redundant type by using Azure portal, PowerShell or Azure CLI once we create Recovery Services Vault. Some customers usually deploy resources using ARM template, so they would like to set LRS as backup configuration by template as well. It would be great if we can set storage redundant type by template as we deploy Recovery Services Vault.

Instead of specifying Retention Policy in terms of time periods (retain for X days/weeks/months/years), it is also useful to keep backup in terms of numbers of copies (retain X copies).

I wish to know what has used the space in: "Total Storage Consumed In Azure"

I have no real idea what has used all the space in my vault.

WORM backup is usually required for meeting compliance.

Update Azure Backup Recover Vault Create wizard to include type of replication instead of default to GRS without any warning to user that Recovery Vault will use expensive option for replication. Either allow global setting of default to LRS or GRS for Recovery Vault or include in initial creation questions which to use

I want to save the cost of backup, and want to save from the disaster.

I want to backup my Azure Virtual Machines on West Japan region
to Azure Backup Vault on East Japan region.
and set the Azure Backup Vault's configure replication to LRS.

The above mentioned question is based on the case that I came across where my schedule backup failed on Saturday and I wanted to take backup immediately but the next backup was due the next week. Therefore I wanted to know what would be the retention if I choose 'Backup Now' option.

I would like to have more recovery points for a retention range to be greater the 64

Allow changing the storage type LRS / GRS without re-registering the agent.
Today it's not possible to do in without moving the agent to a new vault.
If the storage is LRS it's not possible to change to GRS from the web interface and vice versa

After the soft deletion time has passed, it is still impossible to delete a backup item / a vault

It would be great if a V2 VM could be backed up to more than one vault. That way we can have a backup of a VM sitting in an LRS SA and another in a GRS SA vs just being able to choose one.

Cross-filling per comment from the following submission: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-log-analytics/suggestions/9337566-allow-multiple-accounts-in-backup-solution

For the Backup solution, need to be able to add more than one vault account.

Right now the Site Recovery Solution will only allow you to display 1 Recovery Vault. What if you have multiple Recovery Vaults? You can't add additional Solutions in order to list them all.

Currently i have a mix of VMs from different business units in a single Vault, due to a bad decision made by a predecessor. Because of our retention policies i cant delete the data. Therefore a method to retrieve the usage per VM is needed to cross charge the usage.

Please can you provide the ability to change the retention for existing existing backup / recovery point

If a restore request comes in, and the recovery point is due to expire shortly the data may be lost.

also, a customer may ask for specific data to be retained longer.
