Answer 1

Hi Mohammed,

Currently it is not supported and only Windows Server as per this article. However you can follow ASR process as a DR procedure to backup Onpremise Liunx Servers.

Hello @Mohammed Arkam Ansari Thank you for contacting us. Happy to assist!

I understand that you want to backup your on-premise Linux machine data to Azure. As mentioned by Jimmy, you cannot use MARS agent for Linux per support matrix. However, you can deploy a MABS Server in your environment (with Microsoft Azure Recovery Services agent is installed) and install a MABS protection agent on your Linux servers.

You will effectively be running two-stage backup:

D2D (disk to disk) - from Linux VMs to MABS server
D2C (disk to cloud) - MABS server will be backing up to Azure Recovery Services Vault
Note: if you happen to have a DPM (System Center Data Protection Manager) in your environment, you can reuse it too.

You can learn about MABS here: Architecture Overview - Azure Backup | Microsoft Learn

Hope this helps. Feel free to ping with questions for further assistance in this matter!
