Rapid Recovery 6.5 adds support for a new repository type (Native Azure Storage) that enables direct repository connections to Microsoft Azure Blob storage.
Consider the following details when implementing this feature:
Complete the following steps to create an Azure Repository.
By default, this text box consists of the word Repository and a number, which corresponds to the number of repositories for this Core. For example, if this is the first repository, the default name is Repository 1. Change the name as needed. Repository names must contain between 1 and 40 alphanumeric characters, including spaces. Do not use prohibited characters or prohibited phrases.
|
NOTE: If you have configured a Microsoft Azure Resource Management (for Virtual Export) account for use with VM export, that account cannot be used for the Azure repository. |
The Create Repository Wizard closes, and Rapid Recovery applies the settings to your Core. If Toast alerts are enabled, you see messages indicating that repository creation has started, and the repository is mounted. Alternatively, you can monitor the progress of the repository creation by viewing alerts on the Events page.
After a brief pause, on the Repositories page, in the Repositories summary table, your new repository is listed
