Can an Azure VM data disk (Premium SSD) be backed up hourly?

Our Azure VM has a premium SSD data disk. Following testing, this drive will have around 100 files per hour added to a file library that resides on it.
Native daily backups in Azure aren't really going to be sufficient as I can only see Backup Center options for daily backups. Is there any other way (native to Azure) to perform hourly backups without having to purchase external backup software?

@DaveFromEngland
Using Azure Disk Backup you can create backup policies that allow backups every 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours, currently hourly backups are not available. For information on setting this up you can refer to the Back up Azure Managed Disks page.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns and we will be happy to help.

Thank you. I wasn't aware that there are different types of vault. I had the wrong one created so Azure Disks wasn't appearing as an option.
