Hello, Team
I have a client who is looking to backup their databases from Azure VMs to a storage On-prem.
What is the best approach to take to achieve this in terms of resources and config?

Backup databases in Azure to an On-prem storage

Well, you can without any additional infrastructure. Install agents on those VMs to backup the databases and have on-prem accessible (you’d likely need to use a firewall configuration and punch a port through the firewall to the CommServe and Media agent, or use a proxy/network configuration).
Azure → Commvault network gateway (proxy) on port 8403 → CommServe/MA
Consider that moving data out of the cloud costs egress fee’s $$$ - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/pricing/details/bandwidth/
Another approach is to backup in cloud and use an auxiliary copy to copy back on-prem. The best way to do that would involve running a Media Agent in the cloud though in most scenarios.
