Correct answer: Bare Metal Recovery, Hyper‑V Virtual Machines.
Why this is the answer
Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) and Hyper-V Virtual Machines (VMs) backups require Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) when backing up an on-premises Hyper-V host directly to Azure. MABS provides disk-to-disk-to-cloud backup, enabling more granular control and efficient recovery for these complex workloads. Files and folders can be backed up directly to Azure using the Azure Recovery Services agent without MABS. System State backup, which captures critical operating system components, also uses the Azure Recovery Services agent directly. MABS is necessary for BMR to capture the entire server state for full system restoration and for Hyper-V VMs to back up the VM data efficiently from the host.
