Hi All,
I need some guidance on the best backup type to use for our domain controllers on azure vms. We are in the process of setting up a service account for the active directory granular recovery, however as for the VM it self what is the best Virtual machine backup type to use ?
The options within the VM group configuration are as follows;
Application Aware
Uses in guest application plug-ins to assist the Virtual Server Agent quiescing and providing granular application level recoverability.
File System and application consistent
Uses VM restore point to perform a point-in-time application consistent snapshot of all the managed disks of the VM.
Crash consistent
Uses Microsoft Azure software snapshot to allow a basic backup of the virtual machine.
Application-based backups
Performs application discovery and configures backups by installing an in-guest agent.
