Hello, nextgen newb here. I need to create a linux VM which is backed up once a day. I can create the VM but l'm not sure what I need to do to back it up. I see likely API entries in

recoveryservices

, but I'm not sure what a minimal working config for that would look like and I don't see any relevant examples or docs. Any help appreciated.

backup is kind of misnomer in Azure, your best bet is to create a managed disk and attach it to your Compute: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/compute/disk/ and then create a snapshot of it: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/compute/snapshot/

exactly what i needed. thanks for taking the time to reply
