Correct arrangement

  • Create an Azure Backup vault
  • Create a backup policy and configure the backup
  • Configure a managed identity

Explanation

To back up an individual disk (Disk2) using Azure Backup's disk backup solution, you must first create an Azure Backup vault (not a Recovery Services vault, which is used for VM-level backups). Next, you create a backup policy and configure the backup by selecting the specific disk. Finally, you configure a managed identity on the vault so it has the necessary permissions to access and snapshot the disk - this is required for Azure Disk Backup to function correctly.
