## Migration of Azure VM backups from standard to enhanced policy (preview)
92+
93+
Azure Backup now supports the migration of Azure VM backups using standard policy to enhanced policy. The migration of VM backups to enhanced policy enables you to trigger multiple backups per day (up to every 4 hours), retain snapshots for longer duration, and use multi-disk crash consistency for VM backups. Snapshot-tier recovery points created using enhanced policy is zonally resilient. The migration of VM backups to enhanced policy also allows you to migrate your VMs to Trusted Launch and use Premium SSD v2 and Ultra-disks for the VMs without disrupting the existing backups.

## Agentless multi-disk crash-consistent backups for Azure VMs (preview)

9199
Azure Backup now supports agentless VM backups by using multi-disk crash-consistent restore points (preview). Crash consistent backups are OS agnostic, do not require any agent, and quiesce VM I/O for a shorter period compared to application or file-system consistent backups for performance sensitive workloads.
