Protecting Azure Managed Instance databases
NetBackup version 11.0 onwards supports Azure Managed Instance backups using the native backup mechanism T-SQL. This backup method does not require creating a temporary database during backup. A .bak file is generated in the staging area on the Azure Blob storage and later moved to Universal share. The Managed Instance uses Azure SAS tokens to securely put the data in the form of .bak onto the Azure Blob. This method is supported only for full backups. If you use an AMI, the same AMI must be attached to the storage account. The backup and recovery workflows of these databases are the same as the other databases.
