The following are the key components of Azure Blob Storage and their relationships:
A Customer has one or more Subscriptions.
Within a Subscription, resources (including Storage Accounts) are created within a specific Region and are organized into Resource Groups.
A Storage Account provides the namespace for one or more Containers.
A Container holds zero or more Blobs.
For more information, see Introduction to Azure Blob Storage.

Step
|
Description
|
Step 1:
|
Install and activate the NAS agent on the Azure virtual machine.
|
Step 2: Onboarding
|
Connect or register your Azure Subscription with Druva to enable the backup of resources within it.
|
Step 3: Discovery
|
Once the NAS Device (i.e., the Azure Subscription) is added or onboarded, Druva identifies the available Storage Accounts within that subscription.
|
Step 4: Configure backup sets
|
Define what needs to be backed up.
|
|
Druva uses Azure APIs to perform the backup and restore operations, transferring data between the NAS device (via the proxy) and the Azure Storage Accounts.
