Backup from cloud to onpremise

Question

Hi everyone, I was looking for a method to backup an azure virtual machine and sends the backup to my onpremise datacenter (and eventually poweron the VM on premise). Is it possible to do something similar?

Thank you

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible depending on your on-premise infrastructure.

You may use Azure Site Recovery which is a DR/Replication offer from Microsoft permitting two ways DR/Replication between Azure and On-premise (Hyper-V/VMware)

According to the link, it seems that ASR protects from on premises to the cloud or between two onpremise dc... but not from azure to onpremise.

Do you have any deeper documentation about this topic? 

Your environment can be protected by automating the replication of the virtual machines based on policies that you set and control. Site Recovery can protect Hyper-V, VMware and physical servers and you can use Azure or your secondary datacenter as your recovery site. Site Recovery coordinates and manages the ongoing replication of data by integrating with existing technologies including System Center and SQL Server AlwaysOn.

Sorry for the misunderstood. ASR provides the reverse replication from Azure to on-premise, but i can't confirm you that you can initiate your first replication from Azure. I will back to you with an answer

Answer 4

Verified. Not supported from Azure to on-prem. Only supported for reverse replication scenario.

Answer 5

Maybe... is it possible to manually copy the data from Azure to onpremise?

So ASR makes the backup from Azure to Azure and then some tool could collect the backup onprem.....
