I want make an automatic Backup of our Samba(Ubuntu) Server. This automatic backup should go over to an Azure(Ubuntu) Server.

So how must I configure our local server that it backup the Data and send it to Server at Azure? Image

Edit: The working Solution for me was with Azure Blob Storage and a cron job.

  • You could use Azure Recovery Services to backup your VM. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/tutorial-backup-vms – Shui shengbao Jan 16 '18 at 07:59
  • But the backup points don't store on your VM, if you need, you could upload it to your VM. – Shui shengbao Jan 16 '18 at 08:00
  • @ShengbaoShui-MSFT Thanks to your Suggestion, but i want make a backup to an Azure Server and not a Backup off an Azure Server – DarthKeks Jan 16 '18 at 08:03
  • I don't think store backup points on a VM is a good idea. Do you want to backup files on other VMs to the ubuntu VM? – Shui shengbao Jan 16 '18 at 08:04
  • No i want backup our local FTP-Server to an Azure Ubuntu Server. This is for the case when our Server Room starts buring that we not lose all Data. – DarthKeks Jan 16 '18 at 08:07
  • You local server is a physic machine a VM on Hyper-V? This Sever is also a Ubuntu? – Shui shengbao Jan 16 '18 at 08:11
  • I suggest you could backup your local files to Azure storage account, it is more cheaper. See this [blog](https://lnx.azurewebsites.net/backup-encrypted-data-from-linux-servers-directly-to-azure-blob-storage/). – Shui shengbao Jan 16 '18 at 08:17
  • physic machine with Ubuntu 17.10 – DarthKeks Jan 16 '18 at 08:21
  • Based on my experience, you could backup your data to Azure blob, it is cheaper. You only need pay for storage account cost. For a VM, you need pay for the VM and storage account. – Shui shengbao Jan 16 '18 at 08:22

I suggest you could backup your local files to Azure blob. Compared to a Azure VM, it is more cheaper, you only need pay for the storage account cost.

You could check this blog:backup data from Linux Servers to Azure blob Storage.

You could a task to upload your files to Azure automatic.
