I think it's almost a must-have product

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Arc from other similar products?

When constructing a system as a backbone in Azure, it is utilized as a backup. There are several backup options for the system, but with Azure, this service is the most convenient since it can be managed centrally through Azure Portal. It's great that all backup and restoration logs can be examined instantly, that no commands or scripts are necessary, and that setup can be done simply by using the user interface.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

There is no need to size extra drives because the backup destination is likewise in Azure. The backup system's prior architecture appears to be ineffective. Backup was designed to be used as a safe, therefore. We can now operate our crucial systems with confidence. Furthermore, no installation is required, and installation administration is straightforward.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'm now preserving a specific quantity of Backup history since I don't know the optimization, such as Backup retention period. (It is more expensive.) To what degree is data retained on Azure, and how much backup is required?

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The major purpose is to be able to make Backup in a safe manner. I am pleased since it satisfies the bare minimum. Today, we can run our critical systems with confidence. Furthermore, no installation is necessary, and installation administration is simple. Simply changing the destination will allow you to restore the backup data to a fresh virtual machine during the failure investigation.
