Note

When a backup is taken on Windows Azure blob, it uploads multiple files, each withsizeof 70MB. If there are network connection problems, the backup eventually fails, but files remain on Windows Azure. SQLSafe will not delete these partial backup files. If you want to delete those, you need to do it manually on your Azure account.

When Azure Blob Storage settings are defined in Configure General Preferences section, they can be reused later through different backups and restores.
