I tried backing up Azure App Service according to the following URL.
However, if you press the backup button on the App Service menu, the next screen will be displayed and you will not be able to proceed.
Backup Not Configured, Configure you backup by setting up a storage account, schedule and select databases to be backed up for safe keeping and disaster recovery.
I tried the App Service Plan with Standard and Premium.
I also created Azure Storage Account.
I have created a new App Service in several regions.
However, both of them got the same result.
Does anyone know the procedure?
Best regards.
The Backup and Restore feature in Azure App Service lets you easily create app backups manually or on a schedule. Also, remember, the Backup and Restore feature requires the App Service plan to be in the Standard tier or higher. However, before backup any Azure App Service you need to configure it properly. As your error message said you should configure,
Storage Account,
Schedule and
Select the Databases to backups
To configure your backups please follows below steps.
Configure Manual Backup
In the Azure portal, navigate to your app's blade, select Settings, then Backups. The Backups blade is displayed.
In the Backups blade, click Configure.
In the Backups Configuration blade, click Storage Settings: Storage not configured to configure a storage account.
Choose storage account Choose your backup destination by selecting a Storage Account and Container. The storage account must belong to the same subscription as the app you want to backup. If you wish, you can create a storage account or a new container in the respective blades. When you're done, click Select.
In the Backups Configuration blade that is still left open, click Database Settings, then select the databases you want to include in the backups. (SQL database, MySQL, or PostgreSQL) (In my case I don’t have any database to select)
In the Backups Configuration blade, click Save. At this point you can click Backup button in the command bar of the Backups blade, this will create a Manual Backup of your app.
Configure Schedule Backup
On the Backups Configuration blade, set Schedule backup to On. Then configure the backup schedule as desired.
In the Backups Configuration blade, click Save. That’s it your backups should works now as you scheduled.
The "Configure" option appeared for me after I tried logging into the Azure portal in private/incognito mode. I'd also recommend clearing out your cache for good measure. Hope that helps.

Use Case:
Current production system is running in azure VM
Database are backed up using azure recovery service vault with proper policy
Technical team wants the database to be restored on-premises server based on a button click / Program execution?
Based on the use case, we were searching for an option to restore database backup as files to storage account from recovery service vault. Then we can download the backup from SAS URL and proceed to restore!
But we cannot find such options in official documents.
Am aware that we can restore backup to azure VM as files and databases.
Any thoughts or Suggestions are much appreciated.
I have one Log Analytics workspace "demo-law-sea" and one Automation Account "demo-aa-sea" in the same region of Azure. I want to create "Start/Stop VMs during off-hours".
It requests a Log Analytics workspace and an Automation Account. I simply choose "demo-law-sea", but I cannot choose "demo-aa-sea" because they are not linked.
Then I go to both Log Analytics workspace and Automation Account to see if I can link them together. Either one has Related Resource to refer to the other, but they have only unlink button but not link.
To proceed I create a new Automation Account with selected Log Analytics workspace while creating "Start/Stop VMs during off-hours", then I delete the existing Automation Account "demo-aa-sea".
Is there a way to link existing Log Analytic workspace and Automation Account? Any prerequisites? Thanks.
Under your Automation Account in azure portal -> click Update Management in the left menu, then you can select the proper Log Analytics.
I want to deploy cloud service to Azure, but when deploying must select Storage Account(tried both in new portal and in Visual Studio 2015). My storage account was created using new portal "Storage accounts" and was assigned to some Resource group, as a result I can't choose it when deploying. Any suggestions how to deploy?
One possible reason is that the storage account created by the new portal was likely created under the resource manager deployment model, while the cloud service is still under the classic deployment model. These don't play well together. You can read a little more at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-manager-deployment-model/. I don't think that a cloud service can use a resource manager storage account for deployment.
In the new portal look at the All Resources blade. If the storage account has a green icon it is a resource manager account. If the storage account has a blue icon it's a classic account.
Create a new storage account as a classic account, either by creating it in the older portal or by using the drop down in the new portal before you click create on the blade that talks about the storage accounts (the before you provide the account name, etc.). Once you do this then I think the account show show up as an option for your cloud service to deploy with.
Also note that if the storage account was created just prior to trying to select it, it might take a minute or two to become visible as an option.
I am willing to switch to new Standard SQL Azure database tier, but there is just no such option in my Azure Portal. I have only the option between Web and Business. What is the problem?
Could it be because these services are still in Preview mode and you have not enabled this in your subscription. I'm also seeing the same behavior in my subscription. To enable this, please visit https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures and click on try it now button next to New Service Tiers for SQL Databases.
In the previous Silverlight Azure Management portal it was possible to "browse storage" and select a service package and the service configuration from Blob Storage:
and that was very convenient.
Now in the "preview" new portal the equivalent dialog looks like this:
Looks like the only option now is uploading the file directly from my computer.
How do I create or update a deployment from files in Blob Storage now?
I don't think this is available just yet in the new portal. You can always go to the old portal from the newer one and use the feature from there. There are still a number of things that the new portal will not do (e.g. SQL Azure Management, Managing Co-admins etc. to name a few) and for those, you would need to go to the old portal.
Hope this helps.
