Comprehensive Storage Account Protection
We support immutable, air-gapped, and agentless cloud-native backup and restore capabilities across core Azure storage tiers:
Standard General-Purpose V2 Accounts are fully supported, ensuring that foundational data—including backups, file archives, application logs, and data lakes—receives the same air-gapped security and agentless data protection benefits as high-performance storage.
Premium Block Blob Storage Accounts backed by high-speed SSDs, are now fully protected, allowing business continuity for high-IOPs, mission-critical workloads. This is essential for scenarios like AI/ML model training and real-time streaming analytics that require consistently low latency and maximum throughput.
This dual-tier support provides resilient, cost-effective, and efficient data protection across all business-critical and general-purpose workloads. For more information on storage accounts, see Storage account overview.
