Is there a way to backup azure blob storage ?

If we have to maintain a copy in another storage account or subscription, cost will be doubled, right ?

Any other cost effective way like back up zipped/compressed blob etc. or any other strategy to follow ?

Thanks

Bhanu.

Hi Bhanu,

Thank you for posting here! We are happy to assist you.

Depending on where you want to back up your data, there are two options available:

Backing up data locally - If you wish to back up your data locally in your infrastructure, you could: a. Write your own application using either Storage Client Library or consuming REST API or b. Use 3rd party tools like Cerebrata Azure Management Cmdlets (Disclosure: I work for Cerebrata).
Backing up data in the cloud - Recently, Windows Azure Storage team announced Asynchronous Copy Blob functionality which will essentially allow you to copy data from one storage account to another storage account without downloading the data locally. The catch here is that your target storage account should be created after 7th June 2012. You can read more about this functionality on Windows Azure Blog:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/06/12/introducing-asynchronous-cross-account-copy-blob.aspx.

For more information on Blob Storage; Refer to the below mentioned link:

For more information on Azure Storage pricing and subscription; Refer to the below mentioned link.
