+Azure file share backup is a native, cloud based backup solution that protects your data in the cloud and eliminates additional maintenance overheads involved in on-premises backup solutions. The Azure Backup service smoothly integrates with Azure File Sync, and allows you to centralize your file share data as well as your backups. This simple, reliable, and secure solution enables you to configure protection for your enterprise file shares in a few simple steps with an assurance that you can recover your data in case of any accidental deletion.
 
-* Create a Recovery Services vault.
-* Configure backup from the Recovery Services vault
-* Configure backup from the file share pane
-* Run an on-demand backup job to create a restore point
+[Learn about](azure-file-share-backup-overview.md) the Azure file share snapshot-based backup solution.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-* [Learn](azure-file-share-backup-overview.md) about the Azure file share snapshot-based backup solution.
 * Ensure that the file share is present in one of the [supported storage account types](azure-file-share-support-matrix.md).
 * Identify or create a [Recovery Services vault](#create-a-recovery-services-vault) in the same region and subscription as the storage account that hosts the file share.
 * In case you have restricted access to your storage account, check the firewall settings of the account to ensure that the exception "Allow Azure services on the trusted services list to access this storage account" is granted. You can refer to [this](../storage/common/storage-network-security.md?tabs=azure-portal#manage-exceptions) link for the steps to grant an exception.

 ## Run an on-demand backup job
 
 Occasionally, you might want to generate a backup snapshot, or recovery point, outside of the times scheduled in the backup policy. A common reason to generate an on-demand backup is right after you've configured the backup policy. Based on the schedule in the backup policy, it might be hours or days until a snapshot is taken. To protect your data until the backup policy engages, initiate an on-demand backup. Creating an on-demand backup is often required before you make planned changes to your file shares.

 ## Best practices
 
 * Don't delete snapshots created by Azure Backup. Deleting snapshots can result in loss of recovery points and/or restore failures.
