Exporting data to an Azure virtual machine

In Rapid Recovery, you can export data to Azure by performing a one-time export, or by establishing a continual export (for virtual standby). One-time export to the Azure platform includes deployment in the workflow. If using a continual export, you can also later deploy the exported files to a bootable VM.

Azure supports virtual export of machines with 64-bit operating systems, including those that use BIOS firmware and those that use UEFI, such as Generation 2 virtual machines. For specific information about operating systems that support export to Azure, see the operating system installation and compatibility matrix in the appropriate edition of the Rapid Recovery System Reqirements Guide..

NOTE: While Rapid Recovery supports the export of Generation 2 virtual machines to Azure, there are limitations to the size and types of disks that Azure supports. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/generation-2#generation-2-vm-sizes.

NOTE: If using virtual export to Azure in Rapid Recovery 6.2.x or earlier, you will see a compatibility warning when you upgrade. Since Microsoft no longer supports its classic Azure Service Management model, users upgrading to Rapid Recovery as of this release must re-create virtual standby to Azure using the updated Rapid Recovery Core Console. When you create a new continual export to Azure, the virtual standby definition uses the Azure Resource Manager model.
