Restore Azure Blob Storage Data from a Backup Set

Updated today

After your Blob Storage environment has been successfully backed up, you can perform a file level restore of your data.

  1. Log in to the Management Console.

  2. On the console, from the top menu, select the Organization.

  3. Select Protect > Go to Azure > All Subscriptions. Select your subscription.

  4. Select Blob Storage > Backup Sets.

  5. From the Backup Sets list, select the backup set you want to restore from and click Restore.

  6. On the Restore Location tab, select the restore destination and click Next.

    • Restore to original location: Restores data to the source storage account with original settings. The Directory Structure is preserved in this case.

    • Restore to alternate location: Enter the following location details where you want to restore the data:

      1. Subscription: Select the Azure subscription from the list of subscriptions associated with your tenant.

      2. Storage Account: Select the Storage Account from the dropdown list.

      3. Region: The region gets auto-populated with the storage region corresponding to the specified storage account.

      4. Container (Optional): This is an optional field. You can select an existing container or choose to create a new container by specifying the name of the container.

  7. Click Next. Then, configure Advanced Settings:

    • Restore Settings: You can choose the overwriting behavior when restoring to a destination where the blob already exists. You can choose from the following options:

      1. Always overwrite: Existing data gets overwritten.

      2. Overwrite, if the original is older: Existing data is overwritten when its date/time of modification is older than that of the data being restored.

      3. Always skip: The existing files do not get overwritten. Only files that do not exist are restored.

    • Directory Structure: Select Preserve original directory structure to restore blob as well as container properties.
      ​Note: If this option is not selected, some files could get overwritten during the restore process.

  8. Click Finish to proceed and finalize the restore job.
