Let’s continue with Azure Backup Tips & Tricks.
Tip #5
The replication of VMs and Physical Servers to Azure Site Recovery is secured encryption-in-transit and encryption-at-rest.
Tip #6
Hyper-V generation 2 VMs are supported to be replicated to Azure Site Recovery despite the fact that Azure platform does not support generation 2 VMs, because during the failover the VMs will be converted to generation 1, in the meantime you do not have to worry about the VMs generation after the failback as it will be converted back to generation 2.
Tip #7
As long as you are up and running on-premises and the failover is not triggered, you will only pay for the storage of the replicated VMs to Azure not for the computing resources too which shall save costs comparing to the traditional disaster recovery model.
Tip #8
The storage account that would be storing the replicated VMs can be LRS (Locally Redundant Storage) or GRS (Geo Redundant Storage). However, I recommend using GRS to avoid any regional outage that might occur during the failover.
