# Tutorial: Back up an Azure Extended Zone virtual machine
13+
14+
> [!IMPORTANT]
15+
> Azure Extended Zones service is currently in PREVIEW.
16+
> See the [Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/) for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

You can protect your data by taking backups at regular intervals. Azure Backup creates recovery points that can be stored in geo-redundant recovery vaults. In this article, you learn how to back up an existing virtual machine (VM) using the Azure portal.
19+
20+
In this tutorial, you learn how to:
21+
22+
> [!div class="checklist"]
23+
> - Create a Recovery Services vault.
24+
> - Apply a backup policy to an Extended Zone VM.
25+
26+
## Prerequisites
27+
28+
- An Azure account with an active subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F) before you begin.
29+
30+
- An Azure virtual machine (VM) in an Extended Zone. For more information, see [Deploy a virtual machine in an Extended Zone](deploy-vm-portal.md).
31+
32+
## Create a Recovery Services vault
33+
34+
A Recovery Services vault is a management entity that stores recovery points that are created over time, and it provides an interface to perform backup-related operations. These operations include taking on-demand backups, performing restores, and creating backup policies. In this section, you create a Recovery Services vault.
35+
36+
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
37+
38+
1. In the search box at the top of the portal, enter ***backup***. Select **Backup center** from the search results.
39+
40+
:::image type="content" source="./media/backup-virtual-machine/portal-search.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to search for Backup center in the Azure portal." lightbox="./media/backup-virtual-machine/portal-search.png":::
41+
42+
1. On the **Overview** page, select **+ Vault**.
43+
44+
:::image type="content" source="./media/backup-virtual-machine/backup-center-vault.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to create a vault from the Backup center in the Azure portal." lightbox="./media/backup-virtual-machine/backup-center-vault.png":::

86+
87+
:::image type="content" source="./media/backup-virtual-machine/configure-backup.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to add virtual machines to the backup policy." lightbox="./media/backup-virtual-machine/configure-backup.png":::
88+
89+
