How do i backup all resources in a resource group that hosts an app service and its related resources to a backup vault?

Question

Hi,

I have a app service that is not very much in use. i would like to back up the app service and its related resource to our backup vault in case we may need to restore it in future. The goal is to backup everything and delete this resource group and the resources in it.

I need help if this is possible and how i would go about it.

Regards,

Phillip.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

In Azure App Service, you can easily restore app backups.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/manage-backup?tabs=portal

List all the resources linked to your App Service, like databases, storage accounts, and virtual networks.

Use the backup feature to save the database to a storage account.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/database-export?view=azuresql

Use Azure Blob Storage snapshots
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/snapshots-overview

If you have Azure Backup set up, you can back up supported resources. Just make sure your resources are in the backup vault, and you can create backup policies based on your needs.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/backup?tabs=azure-cli

Before deleting, export the resource group as a template. In the Azure portal, go to your resource group, click "Export template," and save it. You can use this template to recreate the resources later.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/export-template-portal

After confirming that everything is backed up, you can delete the resource group.
