Backup Azure BlobStorage

Fernando Gutierrez 245

Dear good

I need to configure a daily backup policy to a Blob Storage in Azure. Version: BlockBlobStorage.

After creating the backup Vault, I try to add the blobstorage that I need to backup but it does not allow me.

Could you please tell me step by step how to configure a backup policy for this type of Storage.

Thank you error.bck

Hi Fernando Gutierrez,

Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! Thanks for posting your query!

Sure, I can help you with that! To configure a daily backup policy for BlockBlobStorage in Azure:

Create a Backup Vault:

Go to the Azure portal.

Navigate to Backup center and select + Vault.

Choose Backup vault and fill in the necessary details to create the vault.

Grant Permissions to the Backup Vault:

Go to the storage account you want to back up.

Select Access control (IAM) and add a role assignment.

Assign the Backup Contributor role to the Backup vault.

Create a Backup Policy:

In the Backup vault, go to Backup policies and select + Add.

Choose Azure Blobs (Azure Storage) as the data source type.

Define the backup schedule (e.g., daily) and retention settings.

Configure Backups:

In the Backup vault, go to Backup instances and select + Add.

Choose Azure Blobs (Azure Storage) as the data source type.

Select the storage account and the containers you want to back up.

Apply the backup policy you created.

Enable Cross-Tenant Replication (if required):

Go to the storage account > Object replication > Advanced settings.

Ensure the checkbox for cross-tenant replication is enabled.

Monitor and Manage Backups:

Use the Backup vault to monitor backup jobs, perform restores, and manage backup policies.

For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the official Azure documentation here

Hope that helps!

Dear

Thanks for the prompt response

The problem is that it doesn't give us the option to select "BlobStorage"

I'm attaching an image where you can see exactly that.

Thanks

@Fernando Gutierrez,

It looks like the option to select "BlobStorage" is missing from the backup configuration interface. This might be due to a few reasons:

Ensure that the feature for backing up Azure Blobs is available in your region and subscription. Azure periodically updates its services, and some features might be in preview or not yet available in all regions. Verify that you have the necessary permissions to configure backups for the storage account. You need to have at least the "Contributor" role on both the Recovery Services vault and the storage account.

Confirm that your storage account is of the type "BlockBlobStorage." Some storage account types might not be supported for this backup feature.

Service Registration: Ensure that the Microsoft.DataProtection resource provider is registered for your subscription. You can do this by navigating to your subscription in the Azure portal, selecting "Resource providers," and registering the Microsoft.DataProtection provider if it is not already registered.

If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, let me know in the "comments" and I would be happy to help you.
