hey,
i currently am at the end of my Apprentice Project and during the execution i came across my question.
during the configuration of the Recovery Service Vault, i couldnt integrate the Maschines, i connected into the VNet through the Azure Arc Connected Maschine Agent.
Now On Premise Backups are possible through a seperate Backup Server. but i assumed Arc connected Servers could be backed up by the Recovery Service Vault aswell.
is that the Case and im just looking somewhere wrong or is that not possible?

(PS im pretty new to Azure and this Forum so i apologize to the lack of details in this post)

    Hello Jon_BTC,

    It is possible to back up Azure Arc connected servers using Azure Backup. However, there are some prerequisites that need to be met before you can start backing up your servers. For that you can refer to Azure Backup Agent Support Matrix

    First, you need to register your Azure Arc connected servers with Azure Backup. You can do this by installing the Azure Backup agent called MARS on your servers and then registering them with Azure Backup vault.

    How to guides: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/install-mars-agent https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-windows-with-mars-agent

    Once your servers are registered, you can create a backup policy in Azure Backup to define the backup schedule and retention policy. You can then associate the backup policy with the servers that you want to back up

    For more information on how to back up Azure Arc connected servers using Azure Backup, please refer to the following documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-about-mars
