Ans - No. Backup of HANA HLI can be done to either directly to volumes attached to the HANA Large Instance units or to NFS shares or Storage snapshots. But in case of backup against volumes that directly attach to HANA Large Instance units, copy the backups to an Azure storage account.

I think that B is the right answer. The Hana backup is not completed without copy the backup from local HLI disk to a remote storage (NFS or Storage Account)

My Opinion: YES. You can back up either directly to volumes attached to the HANA Large Instance units or to NFS shares that are set up in an Azure virtual machine (VM). In the latter case, customers set up a Linux VM in Azure, attach Azure https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/sap/hana-backup-restore

hmm.. difficult question.. you can create a backup with DB13.. but it is on local disk.. inside a Server, which is hosted in Azure.. so Backup is inside Azure, but i guess, MS doesn't mean it that way..

You can attach a managed disk and then back up to it. Still safe if OS crashes.
