Back-up fro VMs in Azure and database

Question

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any possibility to create a back-up for my deployed VMs in Azure?
Also, I would like to create a back-up (incremental daily screenshot) for my SQL database server.
Can you guide me through on how can I achieve that?
Thanks!

@Carolina Zamisnicu Thank you for your post!

You can enable Azure Backup for an Azure VM and also for a SQL Server database running on the VM without conflict.
When you create a backup policy, a daily full backup is the default.
You can add a differential backup, but only if you configure full backups to occur weekly.
Learn about different types of backup policies.
