About protecting Microsoft Azure resources using resource groups

NetBackup lets you define a peer Resource Groups snapshot destination for every resource group that contains protected virtual machines and volumes.

All resources in Microsoft Azure are associated to a resource group. After a snapshot is created, it is associated to a resource group. Also, each resource group is associated to a region. See the following:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/manage-resource-groups-portal

Snapshot Manager creates a snapshot and places the snapshot in resource group to which the resource belongs even under the following conditions:

  • If you don't provide a prefix for a resource group

  • Peer resource groups are not created

  • You allow the snapshots to get created

You can configure the settings to place the snapshots in different resource group than the resource group that is associated with the resource. However, note the following important points:

  • The peer resource group must be in the same region as the region of the resource group of the resource.

  • If a peer resource group is not found, the configurations determine whether the snapshots creation succeeds or fails.

To enable this feature, you must create peer resource groups. Snapshot Manager then appends the prefix of the resource group that is associated with the resource. When a snapshot is created, the peer resource group name is derived based on the prefix and the resource group to which the resource is associated.

Note:

You can now directly associate a snapshot to an existing peer resource group, at the time of creating a protection plan. However the functionality of defining a peer resource group by specifying a prefix which is described in this section, still exists.

Refer to information on creating protection plans in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide for the complete procedure.
