[Azure Backup](../articles/backup/backup-azure-vms-introduction.md) can back up your VMs running Windows or Linux to the Azure recovery services vault. Backing up and restoring business-critical data is complicated by the fact that business-critical data must be backed up while the applications that produce the data are running.

To address this issue, Azure Backup provides application-consistent backups for Microsoft workloads. It uses the volume shadow service to ensure that data is written correctly to storage. For Linux VMs, only file-consistent backups are possible, because Linux does not have functionality equivalent to the volume shadow service.

To address this issue, Azure Backup provides application-consistent backups for Microsoft workloads. It uses the volume shadow service to ensure that data is written correctly to storage. For Linux VMs, the default backup consistency mode is file-consistent backups, because Linux does not have functionality equivalent to the volume shadow service as in the case of Windows. For Linux machines, see [Application-consistent backup of Azure Linux VMs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/backup/backup-azure-linux-app-consistent).
