Create a pseudo-client with the Azure account information so that you can back up to and restore from an Azure managed instance.
The pseudo-client provides an easy way for you to manage all the Azure instances that belong to the same account.
Before You Begin
Verify that the client that you plan to use as the access node has a Windows operating system.
