Azure Backup hosts Ask Me Anything session

Join us at /r/Azure in Reddit on Thursday, December 10, 2015 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm PDT for Ask Me Anything session on Azure Backup

The Azure Backup team will host a special Ask Me Anything session on /r/Azure, Thursday, December 10, 2015 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm PDT.

What's an AMA session?

We'll have folks from across the Azure Backup Engineering team available to answer any questions you have. You can ask us anything about our products, services or even our team!

Why are you doing an AMA?

We like reaching out and learning from our customers and the community. We want to know how you use Azure and Azure Backup and how your experience has been. Your questions provide insights into how we can make the service better. If this AMA session turns out to be useful, we may start doing this on a regular schedule.

Who will be there?

You, of course! We'll also have PMs and Developers from the Azure Backup team participating throughout the day.
Have any questions about the following topics? Bring them to the AMA.
•    Backup of Azure IaaS VMs
•    Azure Backup Server
•    System Center Data Protection Manager
•    Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent

Why should I ask questions here instead of StackOverflow, MSDN or Twitter? Can I really ask anything?

An AMA is a great place to ask us anything. StackOverflow and MSDN have restrictions on which questions can be asked while Twitter only allows 140 characters. With an AMA, you’ll get answers directly from the team and have a conversation with the people who build these products and services.
Here are some question ideas:
•    What is Azure Backup?
•    How should I choose between Azure Backup Server and System Center Data Protection Manager for my application backup?
•    What are the pros/cons of using VM backup versus File/Folder backup?
•    How does the “Protected Instances” billing model work?
•    Why should I pick cloud over tape for long term retention?
•    How do I get deduplication working with Data Protection Manager?
Go ahead, ask us anything about our public products or the team. Please note, we cannot comment on unreleased features and future plans.

Join us! We're looking forward to having a conversation with you!
