Azure Backup
Reliable backup for VMs, SQL databases, and files. Azure-native, no third-party licenses.
Your Backup Has Gaps — and Nobody Tests the Restore
Some VMs are backed up, others are not. SQL databases run without log backup. The last restore test? Years ago. And on-premises backup software (Veeam, Commvault) costs EUR 5,000-20,000 annually in licenses — for a solution that protects Azure workloads only awkwardly.
Azure Backup is included in every Azure subscription — pay-as-you-go, no license costs. VMs, SQL, Azure Files: all with one service. All that is missing is structured configuration with tested restore processes.

3 steps. From start to finished project
How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO
STEP 1
Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment
Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.
STEP 2
Receive your plan and start implementation
Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.
STEP 3
Guided implementation through to completion
Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.
The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.
