Configure Azure MySQL Server Database Backups Using Commvault Cloud Infrastructure

You can use a guided setup to configure database backups for Azure MySQL databases that can be accessed via a public endpoint. This method uses the Commvault Cloud infrastructure, so you do not need to configure your own backup gateways.

Important

  • Commvault Cloud infrastructure backups for Azure databases are supported only for certain regions. If you do not see your region when configuring backups for your Azure Paas database, contact your Commvault Cloud customer support manager (CSM).

  • The Commvault Cloud software supports Azure for public clouds only. Sovereign clouds, such as in Germany or China, are not supported. For more information, go to Azure Regions Decision Guide on the Microsoft documentation website.
