Performing Azure Files Backup

One backup policy can be used to process one or more Azure file shares within one Microsoft Entra tenant. The scope of data that you can protect in a tenant is limited by permissions of a service account that is specified in the backup policy settings.

To schedule data protection tasks to run automatically, create backup policies. For each protected Azure file share, you can also take a cloud-native snapshot manually when needed.

If you plan to receive email notifications on backup policy results, configure email notification settings first. For more information, see Configuring Global Notification Settings.
