    HI,

    If the backup is enabled and configured, you will see a folder with the name Microsoft.Azure.RecoveryServices.VMSnapshot under "C:\Packages\Plugins\" in Azure VM

    there are other various ways to find the VM backup status using PS connecting to azure portal and directly

    Regards,
    Dev

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.
    You can use below powershell command to check if back up enabled or not for Azure VM.

    Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupStatus

    To check whether a VM is backed up or not. Reference link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.recoveryservices/get-azrecoveryservicesbackupstatus?view=azps-4.6.0

    Hope this helps,
    Thanks
