Azure Backup
Independent Azure Backup - Beyond Microsoft’s Limits
Separate credentials. Separate infrastructure. Cybersecure ensures Azure SQL and Files backups are recoverable, even if Azure fails.
Separate credentials. Separate infrastructure. Cybersecure ensures Azure SQL and Files backups are recoverable, even if Azure fails.
If you’re running Azure Files or Azure SQL and think Microsoft’s native tools are enough, you’re gambling with recovery. Built-in doesn’t mean bulletproof. Default doesn’t mean compliant.
Cybersecure delivers fully managed Azure backup solutions that go beyond Microsoft’s limits, so your business can recover from anything: corruption, ransomware attacks, accidental deletion, or failed backup jobs.
Microsoft’s built-in backup options offer convenience but not resilience. If your data protection starts and ends with Recovery Services Vault or automated Azure SQL backups, here’s what you’re missing:
Cybersecure fixes this.
We separate credentials. We store backups off-Azure. We provide immutable storage with forensic logs, tested recovery, and a 1-hour SLA, so when you need to restore, you actually can.
You get instant access to a team that lives and breathes backup - not helpdesk staff reading scripts.
Azure SQL backups are protected down to the transaction. Azure Files support granular recovery, versioning, and compliance retention.
We help you meet Essential 8, PCI-DSS, and ISO27001 - without complexity or delay.
No shared credentials. No reliance on Microsoft. No surprises when you hit restore data.
Azure gives you backup options. We give you certainty.
Cybersecure’s Azure backup and recovery solutions are built for:
This isn’t about going through the motions to tick a box. It’s about restoring your operations, uptime, and client trust.
This is for businesses with no on-prem infrastructure. If your environment is fully Azure, our architecture gives you geographic and platform redundancy by backing up to the Cybersecure cloud.
We support:
We align with your stack – whether you use Azure VMware Solution, Windows Server, or Azure Site Recovery.
Most Azure backup software and tools rely entirely on Microsoft’s stack. Cybersecure uses Veeam technology within a custom-managed environment that keeps backups completely isolated from your production workloads – ensuring credential separation, zero reliance on your IT stack, and alignment with modern compliance frameworks.
You define:
Cybersecure combines agent-based and agentless methods based on your infrastructure. All backup files are stored in Azure storage accounts or moved securely off-cloud.
Cybersecure’s Azure cloud backup services include:
We support single and multi-Azure region deployments, with verified recovery points and forensic audit logs.
You won’t need a calculator to understand your bill.
We offer flat-rate, usage-transparent Azure backup pricing with no hidden charges for storage, data transfer, or overage. Just predictable backup pricing and proven availability.
Microsoft covers infrastructure. Cybersecure protects Azure resources with verified, independent backups you can actually restore.
Our Microsoft Azure backup service exists for one reason: your recovery can’t depend on Microsoft.

Most native Azure backup solutions offer scheduled backups, retention policies, and integration with Azure Recovery Services Vault. They support basic point-in-time restore, encryption at rest, and integration with tools like Azure Monitor.
But relying solely on Microsoft’s toolset comes with limitations. Backups stored inside the same platform as production data can’t protect you from platform-level outages, insider breaches, or shared credential misuse.
At Cybersecure, we extend the feature set with off-platform replication, immutable storage, forensic audit trails, and credential separation - features not found in most Windows Azure backup setups. That’s the difference between storing data and ensuring recovery.
To configure Windows Azure backup, users typically:
- Create a Recovery Services Vault
- Register their virtual machines or file systems
- Define backup schedules and retention policies
- Enable backup and monitor job status via the Azure portal
While setup is straightforward, what matters more is how backups are tested and recovered - something native Azure tools don’t handle deeply.
That’s why many organisations turn to managed Azure cloud backup solutions. Cybersecure handles setup, verification, and recovery testing - ensuring your backups aren’t just configured, but actually usable under pressure.
The cost of Azure database backup depends on several factors:
- Volume of data backed up
- Retention period (how long backups are stored)
- Storage type (locally redundant, geo-redundant, or zone-redundant)
- Frequency of backups and restore operations
- Network data transfer during offsite backup or recovery
Azure pricing can be opaque, with additional costs for long-term data retention, high-frequency backups, and retrieval from archive tiers.
Cybersecure offers flat, transparent pricing for Azure SQL database backup. No hidden fees, no billing surprises - just compliant, restorable backups with full control over storage and recovery.
Azure SQL Database backup offers three main native options:
- Automated backups: Handled by Azure, includes point-in-time restore (up to 35 days)
- Long-term retention (LTR): For compliance-heavy workloads, extends retention beyond 35 days
- Manual export: Allows snapshotting a .bacpac file to Azure Storage
These options work for basic coverage but lack granular restoration and off-platform resilience.
Cybersecure enhances these capabilities with:
- Transaction-level rollback for compliance audits
- Immutable, off-Azure backup copies stored in ISO27001-certified Australian infrastructure
- Recovery SLA of under one hour, regardless of incident origin
- Integration with complex architectures including Azure VMware Solution backup
This ensures SQL databases can be recovered quickly and independently - whether you're restoring a full instance or a single record.
Restoring from Azure cloud backup services involves selecting the appropriate recovery point, target location, and recovery mode (e.g. file-level, disk-level, or full VM).
Native Azure tools support restore through the portal or PowerShell. However, limitations exist - especially if the recovery involves identity-based data (like Azure AD), cross-region recovery, or multi-service workloads.
With Cybersecure, restoring data is:
- Fast: Recovery points are stored near-source and tested regularly
- Independent: Backups are stored outside Azure, reducing reliance on Microsoft’s infrastructure
- Flexible: Restore to original, alternate, or isolated environments for testing or compliance
- Controlled: Recovery is isolated from your production stack, using separated credentials
Our Azure backup and recovery solutions include support for full VM restore, file-level recovery, and SQL-specific point-in-time rollbacks.
