Azure Backup is ideal for organizations that already use Microsoft Azure and want to back up their data to the cloud. It also works for hybrid IT infrastructure, with a mix of cloud-based and on-premises resources. Runs SQL Server workloads , Exchange, SharePoint and others. Azure Backup is not designed for complex backups.Azure Backup may not be the best choice for high-performance workloads that require near real-time backup and recovery
We backup on-premises physical machines and Azure virtual machines with Azure Backup. We also use Azure Site Recovery with a few clients and it has had to be used and saved the day. Azure backups are always rock solid.
Pros
Backup on-premises physical machines
Backup Azure virtual machines with Azure Backup
Restore from backups
Azure Site Recovery syncs servers to Azure for disaster recovery purposes
Cons
backup schedule calendar would be cool
Backup vaults should ask if you want to send notifications when you first set it up, there have been a couple of times when I noticed a month later that, backup job failures were not configured to send email notifications.

I sleep better at night knowing that we have Azure Backup configured. Having had to restore files and full backups multiple times I am confident in this solution. I would strongly encourage everyone with Azure to use Azure Backups, in fact, If they don't, I don't think I would want to do business with them.
