This chapter is designed to provide you with the insights, skills, and techniques for protecting Microsoft Azure Stack with a Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (SCDPM) server. After reading this chapter, you will have the knowledge to protect Azure Stack, by configuring data protection at both the infrastructure and tenant layers, but you will also be equipped with the ability to talk to your Azure Stack OEM provider about the basics of cloud recovery.
To follow the recipes in this chapter, you need to have installed Microsoft SCDPM successfully and also have either the Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK) or a multinode Azure Stack appliance installed and configured.
