Hello. 

We would like to restore some files and SQL DB backups nightly directly into a Azure Blob. I know that I can schedule this type of restores. (latest backup & advanced restore options for SQL)

But:

Is it possible to restore directly into a Azure Blob? (Destination: azure blob)

(aux copy will not do the job, as I need the data in the native / non-commvault format in the cloud)

Best answer by Sunil

Yes, here is the documentation link.

Restoring File System Data to Azure Blob Storage (commvault.com)

 

Thanks,

Sunil

hi @Dimitri 

I believe we need to mount the blob storage bucket on the local machine. That’s the only option if you want to restore directly through SQL agent.

Other option is to restore to local machine, run a FS backup and restore to blob storage.

 

Thanks,

Sunil

Hi @Sunil 

For SQL we need to use a third party mount tool to mount the blob storage locally - ok. But with the FS Agent we can restore without mounting the blob storage? Is there any documentation for this?
