    This document discusses new capabilities for selective disk backup of Azure VMs. It allows backing up individual disks of a VM rather than having to back up the entire VM. Currently you can back up all data disks, just the OS disk, the OS disk and one data disk, or the OS disk and another data disk. The document provides instructions for performing a backup of just the OS disk and a backup of the OS disk and one data disk using PowerShell commands.

    Azure VM Selective Disk Backup

    Hey Folks

    Recently Microsoft has announched that, Azure now supports VM


    Selective backups.

    What is this selective backup??. This will allow the


    admins/customers to backup only the selected disks in a VM to
    Azure backup. But at the moment we can only perform the
    following scnearios

    Example

    We have a Linux VM which has OS Disk and 2 data disks as mention


    below

    What we can do is

    1. Backup All Data disks (Typical option)


    2. Backup only the OS disk
    3. Backup OS Disk + Disk 1
    4. Backup OS Disk + Disk 2
    Azure VM Selective Disk Backup – Blog of Danidu (wordpress.com)

    What we cannot do is back up on the data disks without the OS


    disk.

    I will talk about option 2 and 3 ( 4 is same as 3). Basically I will be


    covering the new options. Alos on this to note, at the moment
    option 3 only can be set from powershell. There is no GUI option for
    it.

    Backup OS Disk + Data Disk 1

    Get VM Disk Details

    Get-AzDisk -ResourceGroupName AE-DEV-LINUX

    Get Azure VM Datadisk details

    $Vm = Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName AE-DEV-LINUX -Name


    LinuxVm01

    Determine Datadisk lun details

    $vm.StorageProfile.DataDisks

    Specify the data disk lun numbers seperated with a comma

    $disks = (“0”)
    $targetVault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -ResourceGroupName
    AE-DEV-LINUX -Name LinuxRecovery

    Setting the vault content

    Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext -Vault $targetVault

    GetBackup policy details to a variable

    $pol = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProtectionPolicy -Name


    “Linux”

    Enable Protection

    Enable-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProtection -Policy $pol -Name


    “LinuxVm01” -ResourceGroupName “AE-DEV-LINUX” -
    InclusionDisksList $disks -VaultId $targetVault.ID

    check the Backup status

    $item= Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupItem -
    BackupManagementType “AzureVM” -WorkloadType “AzureVM” -
    VaultId $targetVault.ID -FriendlyName “LinuxVm01”

    Backup OS Disk Only

    To backup the OS disk only, we can achive this from GUi. Simply
    browse torecovery services vault.

    Azure Backup select Server

    Once you select the VM, you can simply tick the option to backup
    OS only

    Or what you can do is powershell use the below parameer to


    exclude all data disks
