Backup vault.
Now here is a potential confusion because there's actually two hosted, or
cloud‑hosted, solutions in Azure now. There's not just the Recovery Services
vault. I define the Backup vault, it's also cloud hosted. It's a leaner
solution that has no replication engine.
Remember that the Recovery Services vault is not only
backup and restore. That's just half of it.
The other half is the failover, the orchestrated replication engine.
Backup vault is leaner and meaner. It has far fewer capabilities.
It's basically for a handful of selected workload types.
In other words,
Backup vaults have templates where you can back up Azure disks
separately from the VM resource. In Azure Storage,
you can back up the blob service.
Now that's a really big deal.
I've been waiting for a long time myself for a solution to automate
blob backup, and the Backup vault is it. And then we have a template
for the Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers. All right, so just keep that in mind.
