Hi!
We created an Azure VM for one of our customers. On that VM we are running a Windows Service that stores data to an SQL Server database. It's very important that the stored data in that DB on that VM is not lost.
So, how should be backup the DB (files)? Should we prefer a SQL Server DB backup and download this backup or should we create "Capture" the VM via the Azure portal
Are there any other possibilities or what are the best practices here for our case? (Btw. we are not using availability sets? Should we?)
