Answer
Scale up the App Service plan to the Standard (S1) tier or higher.
Azure App Service backups require the App Service plan to be in the Standard, Premium, or Isolated tier. The Basic (B1) tier does not support backup operations, causing the backup configuration options to be unavailable in the Azure portal.
