"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

One option would be to secure a partnership with a Veeam partner that will offer CloudConnect services. They would install an agent into the VMs and send backups to their own data centre. The backed up VMs could be spooled up in short order at the backup vendor's site in the event that Azure goes offline (Europe had close to a week earlier this year).
Another option would be StorageCraft's ShadowProtect with a ShadowStream backup from the Azure VMs into your own data centre or even your shop so long as the Internet connection was up to speed. Advantage would be the ability to spin the VMs up on-premises if the need arose. There are vendors offering off-site ShadowStream backups too.
