Azure Blob Storage Destination

This page describes the Azure Blob Storage destination

Duplicati supports backing up to Azure Blob Storage, which is a large scale object storage, similar to S3.

To use the Azure Blob Storage destination, you can use the following URL format:

azure://<container>/<prefix>
  ?azure-account-name=<account id>
  &azure-access-key=<access key>

Create container

You can create the container via the Azure portal, but if you prefer, you can also let Duplicati create the container for you. The container names are unique within the storage account and has a number of restrictions.

If you use the UI, the "Test connection" button will prompt you if the container needs to be created.

Using a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token

Instead of using a traditional Access Key, you can also use a SAS token. To use this, supply it instead of the access key, for example:

azure://<container>/<prefix>
  ?azure-account-name=<account id>
  &azure-access-sas-token=<SAS token>
