DC Backup
BKPPolicy-Based Backup
DC Backup writes full copies of VM data to a repository independent of primary storage — protection that survives storage incidents and deletion. The first backup is full; every subsequent run transfers only changed blocks. Policies define schedule and retention once and apply to VMs or whole resource groups automatically.
Key Features
Incremental-forever backups after the first full copy
Application-consistent restore points via guest tools
WORM immutability windows against ransomware
Full VM, single-disk, and file-level restore
Automatic tiering of aged points to archive storage
How It Works
Create a backup policy
Define schedule, retention tiers, immutability window, and cross-site copy rules once — hourly to monthly, retained for days to a decade.
Assign your resources
Attach the policy to virtual machines, disks, and file shares by tag or by selection. New resources with matching tags are protected automatically.
Protection runs itself
Application-consistent snapshots are captured on schedule, deduplicated, encrypted, and written to an immutable vault. Aged copies tier to archive storage automatically.
Restore in clicks
Restore a full machine, a single volume, or an individual file to any recovery point — to the original location or a new one, in the same or a different region.
