Using Azure VM as Backup Server

Hello,

My organization is using Backup Exec 20.4 running on a Server 2012 R2 server. We are planning to make a full migration from on-premises to Azure sometime this year (we are currently runing a hybrid setup, but our main resources are still on-prem). Our leadership is somewhat worried about the possibility of physical servers failing in our data center. If this were to happen, we would lose the server running Backup Exec. However, all of our backups are being stored in Azure blob storage right now.

My question is can we access those backups in Azure even if we lose access to our physical servers? I also wonder is it possible to configure an Azure VM as a backup server (instead of the physical server that is configured right now), so that we could run Backup Exec on a VM in the cloud and access our backups that way? I hope this is clear. Any guidance or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Jared
