Blob storage is a type of Azure storage service. Blob Storage stores file data. A blob can be any type of text or binary data, such as a document, media file, or application installer. You can use Blob storage to store content such as backups of files, computers, databases, and devices. Blob storage is also referred to as Object storage.
Use the Azure Settings tab of the Configure General Preferences option from the Administration tab to specify the storage settings to be used through the different backups and restores.

- Total retry interval - the total time for retrying the backup operation before stopping it.
