How to configure multiple backups per day for Azure Files?

Few days ago, Microsoft released a new option for backup policies. Azure Backup now enables you to create a backup policy or modify an existing one to take multiple snapshots a day.

You can create a policy to back up Azure file shares from the Backup policies section of the Recovery Services vault.

Then you can select the following frequencies:

  • Daily
  • Hourly
