+## Archive tier support for Azure Virtual Machines is now generally available
+
+Azure Backup now supports the movement of recovery points to the Vault-archive tier for Azure Virtual Machines from the Azure portal. This also supports the movement databases – SQL Server in Azure VM and SAP HANA in Azure VM. This allows you to move the archivable recovery points corresponding to a particular database to the Vault-archive tier at one go.
