So, there still exists no automated way to do these backups. To be raised through another support request as my team purely Then you could do this via Powershell and Azure Automation or withĪzure Functions but assistance with those solutions would likely need If you wanted to automate these processes The methods we support for transfer are AzCopy and theĭata Movement Library which can be used to make custom migration Or you can simply copy the actual files to another accountīut this would have higher latency and be more costly on storageĬapacity, where snapshots would take up less and be quicker to To do snapshots with Azure Storage is through blob iteration andĪpplying snapshots then migrating the snaps over to a secondaryĪccount. To do a snapshot of an entire account or container and so the only way

'I have reviewed over your case and unfortunately there is not a way Unfortunately that is not the case and there is (according to Microsoft support) no better way to do table backups than those that existed when this question was first posed. I raised this question to Azure support on January 18, 2018, assuming that surely they had a way to do this now via a service in Azure. You can see a detailed description of how I made this work complete with links to the batch files that I use to automate the backup at this link: The batch file also causes AZCopy to copy the blobs from the source storage account into the target account directly. AZCopy does the work of moving the table data to the VM and then back out to a secondary blob store in Azure to hold the backup.

After doing a lot of research on the best way to automatically backup data, I found that the easiest way to do this is to schedule a job in the Windows Task Scheduler on an Azure virtual machine that uses AZCopy.
