+Here, we discuss how you can decide if Azure Backup is the right choice for your data-protection needs. In this unit, we highlight common backup scenarios where Azure Backup provides benefits, such as:
 
 * Ensuring availability of your data.
 * Protecting your Azure workloads.
 * Securing your data.

+Azure Backup is an Azure service that provides secure and zero-infrastructure backup solutions for all Azure-managed data assets. It protects a wide range of enterprise workloads. Including, Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure Disks, SQL and SAP databases, and Azure file shares and blobs.
 
 The main criteria that we're evaluating are outlined in the following table. The table contains some key areas where Azure Backup can provide services to you for data protection.
 
 | Criteria | Consideration |
 | --- | --- |
-| Azure workloads | Azure VMs, Azure Disks, SQL Server or SAP HANA databases running in Azure VMs, Azure Blobs, Azure Disks, Azure Database for PostgreSQL.  |
+| Azure workloads | Azure VMs, Azure Disks, SQL Server in Azure VMs, SAP HANA databases in Azure VMs, Azure Blobs, Azure Files shares, Azure Database for PostgreSQL.  |
 | Compliance | Customer-defined backup policy with long-term retention across multiple zones or regions. |
 | Operational recoveries |  With self-service backup and restores, the application administrator can take care of issues that might arise such as accidental deletion or data corruption. |
 
 ## Apply the criteria
 
 In the introduction, we presented a scenario where your organization might have an application that relies on data from a back-end SQL Server installation. SQL Server is running on three Azure VMs. The data in the backup must be retained for up to 10 years to meet compliance requirements. You also want to be able to monitor the backups.
 
-Before we dive into how Azure Backup can help meet these needs, it's important to understand what's not currently supported. If your three Azure VMs are deployed across multiple subscriptions or regions, you should be aware that Azure Backup doesn’t support cross-region backup for most workloads. However, it does support cross-region restore in a paired secondary region.

+* **Unplanned (on-demand requirement)**: If you don't know in advance, then you can use on-demand backup with specific custom retention settings. Your policy settings don't impact these custom retention settings.
 * **On-demand backup with custom retention**: If you need to take a backup not scheduled via backup policy, then you can use an on-demand backup. It can be useful for taking backups that don’t fit your scheduled backup or for taking granular backup (for example, multiple IaaS VM backups per day since scheduled backup permits only one backup per day). It's important to note that the retention policy defined in scheduled policy doesn't apply to on-demand backups.
 
 You can also implement policy management to help with compliance. Azure Backup Policies within each vault define when the backups should be triggered and how long they need to be retained. You can also manage these policies and apply them across multiple items.
 
 ### Does Azure Backup simplify monitoring and administration?

 If you need to monitor operational activities at scale, Backup Explorer provides an aggregated view of your entire backup estate, enabling detailed drill-down analysis and troubleshooting. It's a built-in Azure Monitor workbook that provides a single, central location to help you monitor operational activities across the entire backup estate on Azure, spanning tenants, locations, subscriptions, resource groups, and vaults.
