Azure backup server BMR backup of workgroup server

Question

I know that DPM does not support doing a BMR backup of a workgroup server and that is stated here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/dpm/back-up-machines-in-workgroups-and-untrusted-domains?view=sc-dpm-2019.

I cannot find this information for Azure Backup Server. The documentation says that it supports BMR but does not specify if it works for workgroup servers. Is there any place that has this documented? I have looked here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-mabs-protection-matrix and several other places.

I know MABS is based on DPM so it may not and I do not want to go thru the building of a server just to find out it does not.

Thank You.

Hello @Harold Harris - Thank you for your post!

The support statement for workgroup and untrusted domain is same for both DPM and MABS. For MABS also we point to DPM documentation.

It is documented in the same article here - MABS (Azure Backup Server) V3 UR1 protection matrix - Azure Backup | Microsoft Learn. For some reason the link is redirecting to incorrect document. Will get that fixed.
