Disaster recovery is critical for any organization that is dependent on IT infrastructure. Data loss or system downtime can lead to significant business disruption, lost revenue, and damage to your reputation. Disaster recovery is a set of processes and technologies that enable the recovery of IT infrastructure after a disruptive event. One of the most popular cloud-based disaster recovery solutions is Azure VM Backup. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up a disaster recovery solution with Azure VM Backup.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n

To follow this tutorial, you need to have the following prerequisites:
\n– An Azure subscription
\n– A virtual machine (VM) running in Azure
\n– Access to the Azure portal
\n– The Azure Backup extension installed on your VM<\/p>\n

Step 1: Create a Recovery Services vault<\/h2>\n

The first step in setting up a disaster recovery solution with Azure VM backup is to create a Recovery Services vault. A Recovery Services vault is a logical container that stores your backups and recovery points. Here\u2019s how to create a Recovery Services vault:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Azure portal and navigate to the \u201cRecovery Services vaults\u201d tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Click on the \u201cAdd\u201d button to create a new Recovery Services vault.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    In the \u201cBasics\u201d tab, enter a unique name for your Recovery Services vault and select your Azure subscription and resource group.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    In the \u201cStorage replication\u201d tab, select the replication type for your backups. You can choose between locally redundant storage (LRS) or geo-redundant storage (GRS).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    In the \u201cBackup\u201d tab, select the backup goal for your virtual machines. You can choose between backup and site recovery. For this tutorial, we will select site recovery.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Click on the \u201cCreate\u201d button to create your Recovery Services vault.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 2: Configure Site Recovery<\/h2>\n

    Site Recovery is a disaster recovery solution that enables the replication of virtual machines from a primary site to<\/p>\n

    a secondary site. In this step, we will configure Site Recovery to replicate our virtual machine.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open your Recovery Services vault and navigate to the \u201cSite Recovery\u201d tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n

      Click on the \u201cPrepare Infrastructure\u201d button to configure Site Recovery.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      In the \u201cPrepare source\u201d tab, select your source location and the virtual machine you want to replicate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      In the \u201cPrepare target\u201d tab, select your target location. You can choose between an Azure data center, a service provider, or your own data center.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      In the \u201cNetwork mapping\u201d tab, map the networks of your source and target environments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    6. \n

      In the \u201cCompute and storage\u201d tab, select the replication policy for your virtual machine. You can choose between continuous replication and replication frequency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    7. \n

      Click on the \u201cCreate\u201d button to create your Site Recovery deployment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Step 3: Enable replication for your VM<\/h2>\n

      With Site Recovery configured, we can now enable replication for our virtual machine.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open your Recovery Services vault and navigate to the \u201cProtected items\u201d tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
      2. \n

        Click on the \u201c+Replicate\u201d button to enable replication for your virtual machine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        In the \u201cSource\u201d tab, select your source and target environments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n

        In the \u201cVirtual machines\u201d tab, select the virtual machine you want to replicate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      5. \n

        In the \u201cReplication settings\u201d tab, select the replication frequency and retention period for your virtual machine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      6. \n

        Click on the \u201cOK\u201d button to enable replication for your virtual machine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Step 4: Test your recovery plan<\/h2>\n

        With replication enabled, we can now test our recovery plan to ensure that our virtual machine can be recovered in the event of a disaster.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Open your Recovery Services vault and navigate to the \u201cRecovery plans\u201d tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        2. \n

          Click on the \u201c+Recovery Plan\u201d button to create a new recovery plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        3. \n

          In the \u201cBasics\u201d tab, enter a unique name for your recovery plan and select your virtual machines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        4. \n

          In the \u201cPre-failover\u201d tab, configure the pre-failover steps, such as stopping any running processes or shutting down virtual machines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        5. \n

          In the \u201cPost-failover\u201d tab, configure the post-failover steps, such as starting virtual machines or running scripts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        6. \n

          Click on the \u201cCreate\u201d button to create your recovery plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        7. \n

          Test your recovery plan by clicking on the \u201cTest Failover\u201d button. This will create a test environment in Azure and replicate your virtual machine to that environment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        8. \n

          Once the test environment is ready, verify that you<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Conclusion<\/h2>\n

          In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of setting up a disaster recovery solution with Azure VM Backup. By creating a Recovery Services vault, configuring Site Recovery, enabling replication for your virtual machine, and testing your recovery plan, you can be confident that your IT infrastructure is protected against data loss or system downtime.
