Get Back to Old Management Portal & Disabling/Enabling GRS from new UI

Question

Hello, I've been using Azure for a few weeks and I have two questions.

I've accidentally get into new new Azure Management Portal which uses Silverlight plugin. I've installed Silverlight plugin on my Ubuntu 12.04 system, but Portal shows only a white screen after a loading screen.

My question is, is there a way to get back to Azure's old user interface?

I get my second problem when I access the Portal from Windows. I could not figured out how to turn on and off geo-redundant storage for an existing storage account from new Management Portal. Sorry for asking such basic questions, but I couldn't find any answers because existing documentation refers to old Portal.

Thanks.

Answer 1

On the issue of getting back to the old portal:

Click the preview button at the top of the screen, you will be presented with a drop dialog with a link to take you back to the old portal.
