 Azure Backups can be created through the Azure portal. You can use the browser-based interface to create and configure backups and related resources to protect your data by taking regular backups. [Azure Backup](backup-overview.md) creates and stores recovery points in geo-redundant recovery vaults. 
 
 [Azure Extended Zones](../extended-zones/overview.md) provide enhanced resiliency by distributing resources across multiple physical locations within an Azure region. This approach minimizes the impact of potential failures for critical infrastructure. By using Extended Zones, your organizations can achieve higher availability and fault tolerance for their applications.
