Figure 1 – Slide showing that you can backup the GP database to Azure
Backing up data is one of the most important functions that companies can do on a daily basis. Most companies will back up their data to a local server on premises. If there is a major issue such as fire or flood, that backup may not provide the safety net that companies believe that they have.
Many Dynamics GP users do not realize that they can backup their Dynamics GP directly to an Azure server thereby having a secure copy of their backup in the cloud.
Here is how it works. Only the system administrator can open the Back Up Company window to make backups. The Back Up Company window is only available when using a Microsoft Dynamics GP installation on the SQL Server. The administrator may choose to back up either the Company database or the System database.

Here is a list of the data that should be backed up.
