Hi everyone.
I have a Dell server with Hyper-V Server 2019 and only one VM.
I want to install MARS to be able to make a backup of my VM in Azure.
The question is, is there a way to make this possible?
Thanks in advance!

I understand your requirement to set up backup for your Hyper-V VM to Azure. Microsoft Azure Recovery Service agent (MARS) can backup File/Folder and System State - needs to be installed inside the VM Guest OS. With MARS you can't take VM level backup. Doc reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/install-mars-agent
Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) needs a standalone VM - can't be installed on the workload VM - it may not be worth it to get it set up for just one VM.
Refer to the link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-microsoft-azure-backup
Hope this helps.
