Azure Backup Server orchestrates the replication of machines and manages the configuration of the failback procedures.
Azure Backup extends tried-and-trusted tools on-premises with rich and powerful tools in the cloud. It delivers protection for customers’ data no matter where it resides: in the enterprise data center, in remote and branch offices, or in the public cloud; while being sensitive to the unique requirements these scenarios pose.

9. Azure storage: industry leading
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)
Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS)
Geographically Redundant Storage (GRS)
Read-Access Geographically Redundant Storage (RA-GRS)
How it works
Makes multiple synchronous copies of your data with a single datacenter
Stores three copies of data across multiple datacenters within or across regions. For block blobs only.
Same as LRS plus a multiple asynchronous copies to a second datacenter hundreds of miles away
Same as GRS, plus read access to the secondary access
Total copies 3 6
Why use it
For economical local storage or data governance compliance
An economical, higher durability option for block blob storage
For protection against a major datacenter outage or disaster
Provides read access to data during an outage, for maximum data availability and durability
Availability SLA
99.9% read/write
99.9% write 99.99% read
