Viewing Virtual Machines
To view the list of available virtual machines, open the Azure page in the Backup section of the main menu and select the Virtual Machines tab:
- The Protected Resources section includes backup policies widgets. Each widget provides the name of the backup policy that protects virtual machines, the backup policy priority, state and Azure subscription. Hover over the backup policy name for more details.
- The Unprotected Resources section displays the list of all unprotected machines.
Each virtual machine is represented with a set of properties, such as:
- Name — the name of the virtual machine.
- OS/Sub. — the operating system on the protected computer and subscription plan of the group that includes the virtual machine.
- Group — the name of the group that includes the virtual machine.
- Last Backup — the date and time of the most recent backup policy run (if any).
You can perform the following actions for virtual machines:
- Sort the list of displayed virtual machines by name, group or time of the last created backup. To do that, click the arrow next to the Name, Group or Last backup column.
- Edit existing backup policies that protect virtual machines. To do this, click the icon in the upper right corner of the policy widget and update information in the Edit Azure Virtual Machines Policy wizard. To learn more, see Editing Backup Policy Settings.
- Create new backup policies to protect unprotected virtual machines. To do this, click the Create new Policy button in the Unprotected Resources section and complete the new policy wizard. To learn more, see Creating VM Backup Policy.
- Refresh the page if you want to update the results on the page. To do this, click the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the page and specify the refresh options.
