Automated server backups \u2013 stored securely offsite, in the cloud<\/strong><\/p>\n

Backup can help you protect important server data offsite with automated backups to Windows Azure, where they are available for easy data restoration.<\/p>\n

Automated backups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manage cloud backups from the familiar backup tools in Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 Essentials, or System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager. These tools provide similar experiences configuring, monitoring, and recovering backups whether to local disk or Windows Azure storage. After you us import data<\/a>\u00a0and back it up to the cloud, authorized users can easily recover backups to any server.<\/p>\n

Efficient and flexible offsite backup<\/strong><\/p>\n

With incremental backups, only changes to files are transferred to the cloud. This helps ensure efficient use of storage, reduced bandwidth consumption, and point-in-time recovery of multiple versions of the data. Configurable data retention policies, data compression and data transfer throttling also offer you added flexibility and help boost efficiency. Backups are stored in Windows Azure and are “offsite,” reducing the need to secure and protect onsite backup media.<\/p>\n
