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.
Specify the following fields:
- Container name - the name of the Azure container where your backup will be stored. Every blob in Azure storage must reside in a container. The container forms part of the blob name. For more information, click here.
- Azure Storage Account Name - the account name of your storage account. Every object that you store in Azure Storage has a unique URL address. The storage account name forms the subdomain of that address. You can find more information in the following link.
- Azure Access Key - the access key to your Azure Storage Account. For more information about Azure Keys, click here.
When Azure Blob Storage settings are set through the preferences tab, they can be reused later through different backups and restores.
Azure Blob Storage
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.
