Explanation
Azure Blob containers are backed up using Backup vaults, while Azure File shares are backed up using Recovery Services vaults.
Approach. For 'cont1' (Blob container), select 'Backup1 only'. Azure Backup uses the newer 'Backup vault' resource specifically for backing up Azure Blobs (both operational and vaulted backups), Azure Managed Disks, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL. For 'share1' (File share), select 'Recovery1 only'. Azure File shares, along with Azure Virtual Machines and SQL/SAP HANA in Azure VMs, are backed up using the traditional 'Recovery Services vault'.
Common mistakes.
- common_mistake. A common mistake is assuming that 'Recovery Services vaults' can back up all types of storage resources, or that the newer 'Backup vaults' have completely replaced Recovery Services vaults. In reality, Azure maintains these as distinct vault types that support different, non-overlapping workloads for storage backup.
Concept tested. Azure Backup architecture, specifically the differences in supported workloads between Backup vaults and Recovery Services vaults.
