When to remove and recreate your Microsoft Azure setup

Topic

This article describes how program participants can remove and reset their Microsoft Azure setups prior to transitioning to the Datto Backup for Microsoft Azure Early Access Program.

Environment

  • Datto Backup for Microsoft Azure

Description

Under what circumstances should I reset my Microsoft Azure environment?

We recommend all returning participants in the Azure Alpha Trial complete the following steps. You should not need to delete any of the VM or networking resources that were previously created and associated with your production system.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure environment you used for the trial.

  2. Navigate to the Enterprise Applications page and locate the Datto Application you used in the trial.

  3. Delete the Datto Enterprise application.

  4. Navigate to the Access Control page, then click Role Assignments and delete the Datto role.

  5. Check the list of role assignments for a Datto SIRIS v0.1.0 object with the description "Identity not found. Unable to find identity". Delete this object if it is present.

    IMPORTANT  Do not attempt to pair any VM that was a test or restore VM from a previous Alpha trial phase.

Other Prerequisites
