Azure Backup uses the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent to back up and recover files, folders, and the volume or system state from an on-premises computer to Azure.
The MARS agent supports the following backup scenarios:
- Files and folders
- System State
- Volume Level
When it comes to monitoring the MARS backup, the first preference will be monitoring alerts provided by Microsoft without any extra cost. However, this will not give an overview of the current recovery points available for each protected server. If you need a comprehensive report on the available recovery points, then you may need to enable Log Analytics in Azure, where you also need to pay for the storage account.
If you need a cost-free solution to get the backup summary from the protected servers, PowerShell can help you with that.
The below PowerShell script can be executed locally on one of the protected servers, which will retrieve the recovery point status from all the required servers and generate an HTML report. This report can then be emailed to the recipient.
