Public Preview: Azure Backup for Elastic SAN

Azure Backup now supports Elastic SAN, offering a fully managed solution for backing up and restoring Elastic SAN volumes. This integration helps protect data against accidental deletions, ransomware attacks, and application updates by exporting Elastic SAN volumes to independent Managed Disk Incremental Snapshots. These snapshots are stored in locally redundant storage and are independent of the Elastic SAN volume lifecycle.

The solution supports up to 450 restore points with 24 hours backup frequency. It is currently available in select Azure regions and supports volumes up to 4 TiB. Long-term vaulted backups and hourly backups are not supported in this preview.

This public preview does not incur Azure Backup Protected Instance fees. However, standard charges apply for Managed Disk Incremental Snapshots.

To get started, visit the Azure Business Continuity Center and configure protection for your Elastic SAN volumes.
