Microsoft Azure • Azure File share backup

Hello,

Veeam backup of Azure File share - is by only creating native Azure snapshots
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbazu ... tml?ver=70

But we require the backup of this file share data out of Azure. So we cannot use the above option.

If we use VBR's SMB File share backup --
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
And then create a file share backup job -- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

We will make sure appropriate FW rules and access is available to allow these Azure File shares to be accessible to VBR server installed at on-prem.
Is there a concern or issue with this process?

And if no concerns, then will the default port required for SMB backup TCP/445 be sufficient (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... onnections)
And if the account/user-credentials has read/write permissions -- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
These two should be sufficient, is this correct?
