When restoring a backup for an App Service, does it also restore all the configurations like Connection strings and Application settings?
I have looked through the documentation but it is unclear.
Thanks.
No, the backup only saves the App Service Data.
If you what to save the App Services configuration, the easiest way is by downloading the ARM template.
You only need to deploy the ARM template if you need to recreate the resource.
Here is the documentation for deploying an ARM template:
Azure CLI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-cli
PowerShell: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-powershell
Portal: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-portal#deploy-resources-from-custom-template

Is there any way to backup Azure logic app like Azure app service using azure powershell or from Azure portal?
You can use Visual studio plugin to design Logic apps and commit them from there directly to Azure devops. This way you can build & test locally and deploy once ready with code commit.
Refer following two articles for details
Automate Logic apps deployment using #Azure resource manager
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-azure-resource-manager-templates-overview
& how to design logic apps using visual studio:

You can also use this Logic Apps ARM Template Creator powerShell script for easy repo storage (backup) and deploy from DevOps:

I am working on Azure ARM templates. I created the ARM templates for azure web app and azure SQL database, for that I configured the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment successfully without any issues.
After one month, I added the one more application settings for web app and added the new firewall rule for azure SQL database and check in the code into VSTS it’ automatically triggered the build and then release.
After every release the ARM template code deployed into azure resources. So, that’s why azure resources recreated once again. But I want to deploy only the changes of ARM template of azure web app and SQL database etc….
I have few doubts in this
I created the azure resources using ARM templates through the CI & CD process from VSTS. After that I deployed the application code into azure web app, after few days I added the some code in web app ARM template and deployed it into azure. After redeployed the ARM templates once again then the application code is also gone. For that what can I follow the better approach?
How to deploy the specific changes of ARM templates code in to azure, once I deployed the primary ARM template first.
You need to make sure the code is also being deployed with the ARM Template, because it adjusts the configuration to what is defined in the template. whats why you see such a behavior.
Just edit the template and redeploy into the same resource group. that's what they are for.
can I deploy .net application(software as service app) as managed application in azure partner portal ?
I am trying to give details using json zip file but not accepted ,
pls help..
ref doc - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/managed-applications/publish-service-catalog-app
Yes you can deploy. You have to create a package as ZIP file containing ARM template for the portal UI definition createuidefinition.json and maintemplate.json. You can put your web app published zip into any server location (azure storage or something else) and create an arm template to deploy this zip into azure. You then need to submit this to cloud partner portal. If you still stuck into this then I can provide you the complete package file to deploy your app. You just need to change your file path to submit your app to cloud partner portal.
You can refer GitHub for a sample managed app solution for azure marketplace.

I'm creating resources on Azure using an ARM template. I have three web apps to deploy. Normally i can deploy them separately using VSTS which is slow. So is there a way to deploy a project on VSTS using an ARM template?
You can deploy a template that uses web deploy to also deploy a web app - you can deploy to slots or deploy to an existing web app (not defined in your ARM template). This sample has an MSDeploy extension that does the work.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-web-app-blob-connection
You can also go this route:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-get-started/
Both can be done via VSTS...
You would need to export ARM template from your azure RM portal.
Make sure
you have single resource group where all these apps have been deployed (since you want to deploy them together).
Export the resource management template and attach to your VSTS project as resource.
Add a new release task in your VSTS as Azure Resource Group Deployment.
Add connection details to your resource group.
Specify the previously exported template
Configure the parameters (or use variables).
you should be able to use VSTS build and release management to deploy ARM resources.
I have not used any Source control mechanism (TFS or GIT) to deploy my Umbraco app to Azure WebSites. Also I don't have any backups of the WebSite(Backups created on Azure Management portal). Also I don't have a previous version of the whole project with me locally. Is there any way I can restore or backup my Azure Website to previous deployment ? Or is it completely impossible ?
Unfortunately, there is no way to restore it the way you have described your situation.
