I've set up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Azure virtual machine with SQL Server Web Edition. I've set up a recovery services vault used to fully backup the Virtual Machine once a week, to be able to restore the installed software. In SQL Server Management Studio, I've set up a Maintenance Plan that backs up the DB to a specific local folder in the virtual machine.

Now, I would like to back up this local folder to another location / storage in Azure, being able to restore this folder in case of need.

What's the best way to backup a single folder on a daily basis? Should I follow this guide to "Back up a Windows Server or client to Azure using the Resource Manager deployment model"? Does the "Vault credential file and backup agent" works on a server in Azure too? Are there any suggestions to perform the described plan?

Thank you very much!

Yes, it works without any issues on Azure Windows VM just the way it works on on-premises VM. If you want to backup a specific folder only, use the article you mentioned.
