Does Azure Backup include attached Disks

Question

I am new to Azure and setting up the backup of multiple Azure VM's, all on the Location. 2 of the 3 VM's have additional data disks attached to them.

Will the Recovery Services Backup policy also back up the data on these disks or do I need to setup a separate backup policy to manage these? Thanks

Answer 1

Azure Backup for VMs include automatically all disks attached to the VM.

Note, there is some limitations to how quickly it can do the backup if there are multiple disks attached. See e.g. Plan your VM backup infrastructure in Azure for more infromation.
