Hello @Mohammed Arkam Ansari Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum. Happy to assist!

I see that you are backing up your Windows machine to Azure and would like to know where the data is stored and how to access that data.

Azure backup data is stored in the vault. You won't be able to access data directly from the vault. The retrieve the backup data you need to perform restore operation.

You may have more questions, you can refer to the FAQ page - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-backup-faq

Hope this helps. Feel free to ping if you have more questions, would be glad to answer them!

Hi @Mohammed Arkam Ansari

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

The MARS agent is associated with a Recovery Service Vault, the location of your data is in the region where you create your Recovery Service Vault, and all backups management will be through your Recovery Service Vault and your MARS Console.

This is the architecture related to MARS

Hope this helps!
