What is the best way to backup Azure Blob Storage contents

Question

I know that the Azure Storage entities (blobs, tables and queues) have a built-in resiliency, meaning that they are replicated to 3 different servers in the same datacenter.

Answer 1

I have used Azure Data Factory to backup Azure storage with great effect. It's really easy to use, cost effective and work very well.

Simply create a Data Factory (v2), set up data connections to your data sources (it currently supports Azure Tables, Azure Blobs and Azure Files) and then set up a data copy pipeline.

The pipelines can merge, overwrite, etc. and you can set up custom rules/wildcards.

Once you've set up the pipeline, you should then set up a schedule trigger. This will kick off the backup at an interval to suit your needs.

I've been using it for months and it's perfect. No code, no VMS, no custom PowerShell scripts or third party software. Pure Azure solution.
