Cloud-Native Data Protection with Azure Backup: Architectural Review and Comparative Study

Author(s) Venkata Raman Immidisetti
Country India
Abstract Azure Backup is a cloud-based data protection service in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, providing a unified solution for backing up a wide range of workloads. This paper offers a detailed examination of Azure Backup’s architecture and capabilities from an enterprise IT perspective. We outline the supported workloads – from virtual machines and databases to Kubernetes and storage – and describe the technical architecture underlying backup operations, including the use of Recovery Services vaults, Backup vaults, snapshot-based and operational backups, policy management, and automation features. The discussion highlights use cases in enterprise environments, performance characteristics, service level agreements (SLAs), and security features such as encryption and data immutability. We also evaluate the business value of Azure Backup in terms of cost optimization, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the paper provides a comparative analysis of Azure Backup against leading third-party backup solutions (such as Veeam, Commvault, and Rubrik) with respect to ease of use, integration, recovery granularity, and multi-cloud support. The insights presented aim to help IT professionals understand Azure Backup’s role in enterprise data protection strategies and how it measures up to alternative solutions.
