    Select a VM to back up
    Create a simple scheduled daily backup to a Recovery Services vault.

    In the menu on the left, select Virtual machines.
    From the list, choose a VM to back up. If you used the sample VM quickstart commands, the VM is named myVM in the myResourceGroup resource group.
    In the Operations section, choose Backup. The Enable backup window opens.

    Enable backup on a VM
    A Recovery Services vault is a logical container that stores the backup data for each protected resource, such as Azure VMs. When the backup job for a protected resource runs, it creates a recovery point inside the Recovery Services vault. You can then use one of these recovery points to restore data to a given point in time.

    Select Create new and provide a name for the new vault, such as myRecoveryServicesVault.

    If not already selected, choose Use existing, then select the resource group of your VM from the drop-down menu.

    By default, the vault is set for Geo-Redundant storage. To further protect your data, this storage redundancy level ensures that your backup data is replicated to a secondary Azure region that's hundreds of miles away from the primary region.

    You create and use policies to define when a backup job runs and how long the recovery points are stored. The default protection policy runs a backup job each day and retains recovery points for 30 days. You can use these default policy values to quickly protect your VM.

    To accept the default backup policy values, select Enable Backup.

    It takes a few moments to create the Recovery Services vault.

    Start a backup job
    You can start a backup now rather than wait for the default policy to run the job at the scheduled time. This first backup job creates a full recovery point. Each backup job after this initial backup creates incremental recovery points. Incremental recovery points are storage and time-efficient, as they only transfer changes made since the last backup.

    On the Backup window for your VM, select Backup now.

    To accept the backup retention policy of 30 days, leave the default Retain Backup Till date. To start the job, select Backup.

    Great demo, looking forward to using this once it hits GA. In the video, it looks like you can restore to the original storage account. Any plans for being able to restore to a new storage account -- for doing forensics or doing a DR test without affecting the state of the original SA?

    Can you post a status for the development ?
    Is the work going as planned ?
    Will there still be a release at the end of Q3-2020 ?

    I support other votes for BLOB backup, table backup and long-term backup retention policy (LTR) for file shares. These should be available out of the box and are critical in all enterprise scenarios.

    Azure Table Storage backup please, please, please, pretty please.

    It appears to me that Table Storage is in even worse situation than Blobs. Table Storage does not offer any events to log changes. AzCopy (which was good only for full backups anyway) DOES NOT SUPPORT TABLES in its latest version v8.1, although they provide link and instructions how to do it with earlier version (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy).

    It is mind-boggling how this can be.

    So yes Critical: Storage (Table)
