It also has built-in backup functionality designed to work with a wide range of data sources.
Microsoft Azure Backup Service has native support for virtual machines, SAP HANA, SQL Server, and Azure Files. This course introduces Azure's backup service and how it can be applied to SAP workloads.

- Learn how to use Azure Backup Service with Oracle, a non-natively supported data source
Intended Audience
Anyone looking to understand and implement the backup and restore capabilities for their SAP workloads on Azure.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this course, you should have a basic understanding of Azure and SAP. Before taking this course, it is recommended that you take the Designing and Building a HADR for SAP Workloads on Azure course first.
Hi and welcome to this SAP on Azure - Backup and Restore course. This course looks at Azure Backup Service and how it can be used with SAP workloads to backup and protect data and infrastructure. Unlike the High Availability and Disaster Recovery for SAP Workloads course, this course comes from an operational, maintenance, and compliance perspective. The course is reasonably self-contained but does assume basic knowledge of the Azure environment and the creation of resources like virtual machines and basic database knowledge. As far as prerequisites go, completing the Designing an Azure Infrastructure for SAP Workloads course will be beneficial. While Azure Backup Service is no substitute for high availability and disaster recovery strategies, viewing the HADR SAP course will give you a context for the Azure Backup Service.
