Is It Possible To Use Azure Backup With 11.1 Image?

Fri May 4 23:19:51 UTC 2018

I'm experimenting with Azure and have built a box with the 11.1 image 
from the marketplace.  I've tried to enable azure backup.  I can start 
the backup via the Azure portal but it fails consistently at 5:06 
minutes.  I assume this is because the timeout in the waagent.conf file 
is 5 min by default.  The error is about not being able to communicate 
with the VM agent for snapshot status.  I do have the azure-agent port 
installed.  The service is running.  And for testing, I even have an 
outbound "allow from any to any" rule in my network security group 
attached to the VM's interface.

I opened a MS support case but the engineer is trying to tell me that 
"this version of Linux does not support backup".  Well being as he 
doesn't even seem to understand that FBSD isn't Linux AND combined with 
the fact that I can see what appears to be snapshot activity in the 
waagent.log file, I don't believe this is the case.

Any clues as to where I should look next?  I've included some 
waagent.log entries below.

Thanks for your help,

Drew

Here are some excerpts from my waagent.log file:
