Is it possible to install azure backup server on same server as workload or does it require separate server?

And does it support backup of SQL 2014 Express edition?

  • How did yo backup your server? As I known, if you use Azure Back up service for azure IaaS VM, the backup is stored as a backup vault in Azure Recovery service. So it cannot be installed on same server as workload. Also, if your SQL is installed in a VM, Azure Back up service supports all of VM backup. – Wayne Yang May 23 '18 at 06:37

It seems that it requires separate server, refer to this article.

Azure Backup Server is designed to run on a dedicated, single-purpose server. You cannot install Azure Backup Server on:

  • A computer running as a domain controller
  • A computer on which the Application Server role is installed
  • A computer that is a System Center Operations Manager management server
  • A computer on which Exchange Server is running
  • A computer that is a node of a cluster

For the supported version of SQL Server, you could refer to Azure Backup Server protection matrix.
