You can use the Azure Backup service to back up on-premises machines and apps and to back up Azure virtual machines (VMs). This article summarizes support settings and limitations when you use the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent to back up machines.

Mars Saga is a role-playing video game developed by Westwood Associates and published by Electronic Arts for the Commodore 64 in 1988. Following a legal battle against Electronic Arts for rights on the franchise, Westwood turned to Infocom to publish the Apple II and MS-DOS ports.

KVR Audio News: LePou Plugins has announced that Le456 is now available for Mac OS X in VST and AU plug-in formats and with a brand new look for the occasion. LE456 is a freeware preamp sim roughly.

The MARS agent

Azure Backup uses the MARS agent to back up data from on-premises machines and Azure VMs to a backup Recovery Services vault in Azure. The MARS agent can:

  • Run on on-premises Windows machines so that they can back up directly to a backup Recovery Services vault in Azure.
  • Run on Windows VMs so that they can back up directly to a vault.
  • Run on Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) or a System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) server. In this scenario, machines and workloads back up to MABS or to the DPM server. The MARS agent then backs up this server to a vault in Azure.

Note

Mars Saga Mac Os 11

Azure Backup doesn't support automatic adjustment of clock for daylight savings time (DST). Modify the policy to ensure daylight savings is taken into account to prevent discrepancy between the actual time and scheduled backup time.

Your backup options depend on where the agent is installed. For more information, see Azure Backup architecture using the MARS agent. For information about MABS and DPM backup architecture, see Back up to DPM or MABS. Also see requirements for the backup architecture.

InstallationDetails
Download the latest MARS agentYou can download the latest version of the agent from the vault, or download it directly.
Install directly on a machineYou can install the MARS agent directly on an on-premises Windows server or on a Windows VM that's running any of the supported operating systems.
Install on a backup serverWhen you set up DPM or MABS to back up to Azure, you download and install the MARS agent on the server. You can install the agent on supported operating systems in the backup server support matrix.

Note

By default, Azure VMs that are enabled for backup have an Azure Backup extension installation. This extension backs up the entire VM. You can install and run the MARS agent on an Azure VM alongside the extension if you want to back up specific folders and files, rather than the complete VM.When you run the MARS agent on an Azure VM, it backs up files or folders that are in temporary storage on the VM. Backups fail if the files or folders are removed from the temporary storage or if the temporary storage is removed.

Cache folder support

When you use the MARS agent to back up data, the agent takes a snapshot of the data and stores it in a local cache folder before it sends the data to Azure. The cache (scratch) folder has several requirements:

CacheDetails
SizeFree space in the cache folder should be at least 5 to 10 percent of the overall size of your backup data.
LocationThe cache folder must be locally stored on the machine that's being backed up, and it must be online. The cache folder shouldn't be on a network share, on removable media, or on an offline volume.
FolderThe cache folder shouldn't be encrypted on a deduplicated volume or in a folder that's compressed, that's sparse, or that has a reparse point.
Location changesYou can change the cache location by stopping the backup engine (net stop bengine) and copying the cache folder to a new drive. (Ensure the new drive has sufficient space.) Then update two registry entries under HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows Azure Backup (Config/ScratchLocation and Config/CloudBackupProvider/ScratchLocation) to the new location and restart the engine.

Networking and access support

URL and IP access

The MARS agent needs access to these URLs:

  • http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt
  • *.Microsoft.com
  • *.WindowsAzure.com
  • *.MicrosoftOnline.com
  • *.Windows.net
  • www.msftconnecttest.com

And to these IP addresses:

  • 20.190.128.0/18
  • 40.126.0.0/18

Access to all of the URLs and IP addresses listed above uses the HTTPS protocol on port 443.

When backing up files and folders from Azure VMs using the MARS Agent, the Azure virtual network also needs to be configured to allow access. If you use Network Security Groups (NSG), use the AzureBackup service tag to allow outbound access to Azure Backup. In addition to the Azure Backup tag, you also need to allow connectivity for authentication and data transfer by creating similar NSG rules for Azure AD (AzureActiveDirectory) and Azure Storage(Storage). The following steps describe the process to create a rule for the Azure Backup tag:

  1. In All Services, go to Network security groups and select the network security group.
  2. Select Outbound security rules under Settings.
  3. Select Add. Enter all the required details for creating a new rule as described in security rule settings. Ensure the option Destination is set to Service Tag and Destination service tag is set to AzureBackup.
  4. Select Add to save the newly created outbound security rule.

You can similarly create NSG outbound security rules for Azure Storage and Azure AD. For more information on service tags, see this article.

Azure ExpressRoute support

You can back up your data over Azure ExpressRoute with public peering (available for old circuits) and Microsoft peering. Backup over private peering isn't supported.

With public peering: Ensure access to the following domains/addresses:

  • URLs
    • www.msftncsi.com
    • *.Microsoft.com
    • *.WindowsAzure.com
    • *.microsoftonline.com
    • *.windows.net
    • www.msftconnecttest.com
  • IP addresses
    • 20.190.128.0/18
    • 40.126.0.0/18

With Microsoft peering, select the following services/regions and relevant community values:

  • Azure Backup (according to the location of your Recovery Services vault)
  • Azure Active Directory (12076:5060)
  • Azure Storage (according to the location of your Recovery Services vault)

For more information, see the ExpressRoute routing requirements.

Note

Public Peering is deprecated for new circuits.

Private Endpoint support

You can now use Private Endpoints to back up your data securely from servers to your Recovery Services vault. Since Azure Active Directory doesn't currently support private endpoints, IPs and FQDNs required for Azure Active Directory will need to be allowed outbound access separately.

When you use the MARS Agent to back up your on-premises resources, make sure your on-premises network (containing your resources to be backed up) is peered with the Azure VNet that contains a private endpoint for the vault. You can then continue to install the MARS agent and configure backup. However, you must ensure all communication for backup happens through the peered network only.

Mars Saga Mac OS

If you remove private endpoints for the vault after a MARS agent has been registered to it, you'll need to re-register the container with the vault. You don't need to stop protection for them.

Deduplicated drivesSupportedAzure Backup converts deduplicated data to normal data. It optimizes, encrypts, stores, and sends the data to the vault.

Support for initial offline backup

Mars Saga Mac Os X

Azure Backup supports offline seeding to transfer initial backup data to Azure by using disks. This support is helpful if your initial backup is likely to be in the size range of terabytes (TBs). Offline backup is supported for:

  • Direct backup of files and folders on on-premises machines that are running the MARS agent.
  • Backup of workloads and files from a DPM server or MABS.

Offline backup can't be used for system state files.

Support for data restoration

By using the Instant Restore feature of Azure Backup, you can restore data before it's copied to the vault. The machine you're backing up must be running .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher.

Backups can't be restored to a target machine that's running an earlier version of the operating system. For example, a backup taken from a computer that's running Windows 7 can be restored on Windows 8 or later. But a backup taken from a computer that's running Windows 8 can't be restored on a computer that's running Windows 7.
