Once the recovery services vault is created, we can start configuring. As mentioned, we have two different services and both services can be used to protect resources in Azure and on-premises.

Let's start with enabling Azure Backup on Azure resources. If we select that we want to protect workloads in Azure under the Azure Backup configuration, options for protections are Virtual machine, Azure FileShare (Preview), and SQL Server in Azure VM (Preview). Let's select Virtual machine and continue. An example of Azure resources for Azure Backup is shown here:

A list of resources available will be automatically provided. As Virtual machine are selected, this will be a list of Azure VMs. If Azure FileShare (Preview) was selected, this would be a list of Azure Storage accounts containing FileShare. We select the Virtual machine that we want to back up, as shown in the following screenshot:

After backup is enabled, we can see a list of protected VMs under backup items. The list will also show the STATUS, the TYPE of protected resources, and other useful information as shown here:
