This may not be news for some, but you can now backup Azure VM's from a relatively simple gui in the management portal.http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/backup-azure-vms/ No more super powershell scripts to shutdown VM's into a saved state and copy the VHD between blob storage like this.It is pretty DPM like which may or may not be a good thing. But it is at least a simple built in way to backup your Azure VM's. You can make the backup redundant too when you set up the recovery vault.
