We have built-in support for backups. This is the only stateful part of the setup. With your backups available, you can re-provision the site and restore your databases in the worst case disaster recovery scenario. I personally don't think it's necessary to back-up the VMSS especially when you can easily re-provision them. The entire cluster can be re-provisioned in 2hrs. However, if you feel like you'd like to do this, that's also possible via the azure portal.

Our latest solution however (guidance is pending), has native support for point in time restore for Mysql and regular backups for MongoDB.
