Step 3. Specify Policy Source

At the Source step of the wizard, specify an Azure account, regions and resources to back up:

In the Source section, specify an Azure account that has access to Azure resources that you want to protect with the backup policy.
In the Regions section, specify a region whose resources you want to protect with the backup policy.

Note

Each Azure SQL backup policy protects resources in only one region. If you want to protect resources in multiple regions, you must create a separate backup policy for each region.

In the Resources section, specify what resources you want to protect with the backup policy:

Select All if you want to protect all resources available in the selected regions.
Select Protect the following resources if you want to protect specific resources in the selected regions.

[For the Protect the following resources option] Do the following:

From the Type drop-down list, select a type of the resource that you want to protect. You can select the following options:

Database — select this option if you want to protect specific databases.
SQL Server — select this option if you want to protect the whole SQL servers.

From the Select one or more resources drop-down list, select resources that you want to protect.

After you define the backup scope, you can select a resource and perform the following actions:

Click View to display detailed resource information.
Click Remove to remove the resource from the backup policy.
