Vaulted backup offers an offsite solution, storing data in a general v2 storage account to protect against ransomware and malicious admin actions.
 
 An Azure Resource Manager template is a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) that defines your project's infrastructure and configuration using declarative syntax. It allows you to specify your intended deployment without writing programming commands.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-Before you configure vaulted backup for Azure Files, ensure that you have a storage account with an existing file share. To create a new storage account and file share, see [create an Azure storage account with file share template](https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/quickstarts/microsoft.storage/storage-file-share).

 Bicep is a language for declaratively deploying Azure resources, offering a simpler syntax and better development experience compared to JSON. It abstracts ARM template JSON, providing all its capabilities. During deployment, the Bicep CLI converts a Bicep file into Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template JSON. A Bicep file specifies Azure resources and properties without needing programming commands. Resource types, API versions, and properties valid in ARM templates are also valid in Bicep files.

+Azure Backup now supports vaulted backup File Shares in standard storage accounts to protect against ransomware and data loss. You can define backup schedules and retention settings to store data in the Backup vault for up to 10 years.
 
 Vaulted backups provide an offsite copy of your data. In case of data loss on the source account, you can restore it to an alternate account. Manage vaulted backups at scale via Azure Business Continuity Center and monitor them using Azure Backup's alerting and reporting features.
 
 We recommend switching from snapshot backups to vaulted backups for comprehensive protection against data loss.
