We are using Azure DNS to host many nameservers for our costumer domains that are facing the public internet. I would like to backup these settings in a easy way, in case of disaster or someone accedently delete the dns zone.
Any simple way?

You are aware that there is both an API as well asa command line interface? Did you bother trying them out? Or would you like a premade solution with cherries on top, pretty please? – TomTom Sep 01 '20 at 06:49

`AXFR` the zone to a private secondary (non-Azure) DNS server that you back up. – tater Sep 01 '20 at 09:40

The simplest way is going to be to store your DNS settings in some sort of template (ARM, Terraform, Pulumi etc.) and make your changes via that. You then have a controlled process for making changes, and your template can be version controlled, backed up and so in. In the event of a disaster you can re-deploy the template, but only if you keep it as your source of truth, no manual updates to the zones.
