    Hello Handian Sudianto, It looks like you're running into an installation issue with Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) after trying to back up your Azure Local VM. Here are some steps and considerations that might help you troubleshoot this situation:

    1. Ensure Prerequisites: Before starting the installation, make sure that your virtual machine meets all the prerequisites for installing MABS. This includes checking SQL Server requirements, network configurations, and sufficient storage space for installation.
    2. Check for Errors: If you received a specific error message while attempting the installation, it would be helpful to identify what that message is. This could provide clues on what went wrong.
    3. Installation Process: If there are any failure notifications during the installation:
      • Consider restarting your virtual machine and then retrying the installation.
      • When you reach the SQL Settings screen, ensure that the SQL instance is correctly configured. Performing a "Check Again" at this step may also help.
    4. Documentation Reference: For a detailed guide on installation, please refer to the official documentation on Installing Azure Backup Server.
    5. Troubleshooting: If you're still experiencing issues, the troubleshooting guide for Azure Backup Server may have specific diagnostic checks that can help identify the problem.

    If none of this resolves your issue, could you provide a bit more detail? Here are some follow-up questions to help troubleshoot further:

    1. What specific error message are you encountering during the installation of MABS?
    2. Have you confirmed that your virtual machine meets all the necessary system requirements?
    3. Are you attempting to install MABS on Azure Stack or an on-premises environment?
    4. Have you checked the configuration settings for SQL Server that need to be in place before installation?

    Hope this helps, and let me know if you need further assistance!
