Question

Could we backup Azure SQL Databases with Azure Backup by add a new backup policy?

We could use Azure Backup to backup VM or Azure file shares. As I known, I know Azure SQL Databases is a managed service but I am not sure for the backup policy if we have to backup Azure SQL Databases.

@Walker Chong Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forums and Thank you for your interest in Azure SQL Database.

Azure SQL Database is a fully managed service.
Backups are handled automatically so you do not have to back up the database manually.

Azure SQL Database creates full backups every week, differential backups every 12-24 hours, and transaction log backups every 5 to 10 minutes.
Please check this document for more information.

You can use the backups to restore a database to an earlier point for recovery purposes.
