Backup And Restore Windows Azure And Amazon EC2 virtual machine<\/h4>\n

To back up a Windows Azure<\/a> or Amazon EC2 virtual machine, install a backup agent on the machine. The backup and recovery operations are the same as with a physical machine. The machine is counted as virtual when you set quotas for the number of machines.<\/p>\n

The difference from a physical machine is that Windows Azure and Amazon EC2 virtual machines cannot be booted from bootable media. If you need to recover to a new Windows Azure or Amazon EC2 virtual machine, follow the procedure below.<\/p>\n

To recover a machine as a Windows Azure or Amazon EC2 virtual machine<\/p>\n

  1. Create a new virtual machine from an image\/template in Windows Azure or Amazon EC2. The new machine must have the same disk configuration as the machine that you want to recover.<\/li>\n
  2. Install Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux<\/a> on the new machine.<\/li>\n
  3. Recover the backed-up machine. When configuring the recovery, select the new machine as the target machine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
