Currently in public preview starting in November 2023, ABCC is designed as follows: It will eventually be replaced by an improved version of Backup Center.. It’s easy to get started. No prerequisites or costs. Even if you are using Backup Center, no additional action is required to start viewing your protected assets in Azure Business Continuity Center. To get started, simply go to the Azure portal and search for Azure Business Continuity Center.

Azure Business Continuity Center (ABCC) provides an improved experience for business continuity and we want customers to adapt before it replaces Backup Center. To support this transition, we have removed Backup Center from the global search in the Azure Portal, but there is still an option to navigate from ABCC to Backup Center.

Backup Center will no longer appear in Azure Portal search results for all regions. Please explore Azure Business Continuity Center (ABCC) for your BCDR journey and provide valuable feedback to help us improve it to better meet your needs.

However, to get started with Backup Center, first go to Azure Business Continuity Center from the Azure portal search.

Then, from the ABCC Help menu, select “Go to Backup Center”.

If you are switching to a backup center, please share your reasons for switching, including any missing features, performance issues, or other concerns you may have encountered. Your insights are invaluable in improving the ABCC experience.
