Azure Blob Storage Backup

Catalogic DPX archives backup data to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage for cloud retention, offsite recovery, and scalable secondary backup storage.

Use Azure Blob Storage as a secondary backup target

Azure Blob Storage gives DPX environments a scalable cloud target for backup archive and offsite retention. DPX can archive from block-level and agentless backups on DPX vStor to Azure Blob Storage so teams can keep local recovery speed while extending retention to cloud storage.

  • Archive DPX backup data to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
  • Use Azure as a secondary backup target for cloud retention
  • Keep local backup copies for fast operational recovery
  • Support long-term retention and offsite recovery planning
  • Build cloud archive workflows without replacing existing DPX operations

Azure backup storage benefits

DPX and Azure Blob Storage help organizations balance recovery speed, retention cost, and cloud resilience.

Cloud archive

Move selected backup copies to Azure Blob Storage for retention beyond the primary backup repository.

Secondary target

Use Azure as an offsite copy target alongside local disk, vStor, or tape retention.

Operational continuity

Keep fast local recovery points while maintaining cloud-based backup copies for disaster recovery planning.

Scalable capacity

Use Azure object storage capacity for growing backup sets and longer retention windows.

Microsoft alignment

Fit backup retention into existing Microsoft cloud strategies and Azure governance practices.

DPX vStor archive

Archive from DPX vStor workflows to cloud object storage without changing the primary backup process.

A practical cloud retention pattern

For many DPX environments, Azure Blob Storage is best used as a secondary copy destination. Local backups deliver day-to-day restore speed, while Azure copies help with offsite recovery and longer retention.

  • Back up workloads into DPX storage first for operational recovery
  • Archive selected backup instances to Azure Blob Storage
  • Use retention policies to control which copies move to cloud storage
  • Recover from local or retained cloud copies depending on the incident
  • Align backup storage placement with RPO, RTO, and retention policy
