--- title: Quickstart - Configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs using Azure Backup description: In this quickstart, learn how to configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs. ms.topic: quickstart ms.date: 06/17/2025 ms.service: azure-backup author: AbhishekMallick-MS ms.author: v-mallicka # Customer intent: As a cloud administrator, I want to configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs, so that I can ensure my data is securely backed up and retained according to my organization's policies. --- # Quickstart: Configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs using Azure Backup This quickstart describes how to create a backup policy and configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs from the Azure portal. You can also [configure backup using REST API](backup-azure-dataprotection-use-rest-api-backup-blobs.md). [!INCLUDE [blob-vaulted-backup-introduction.md](../../includes/blob-vaulted-backup-introduction.md)] ## Prerequisites Before you configure blob vaulted backup, ensure that: - You have a Backup vault to configure Azure Blob backup. If you haven't created the Backup vault, [create one](blob-backup-configure-manage.md?tabs=vaulted-backup#create-a-backup-vault). - You assign permissions to the Backup vault on the storage account. [Learn more](blob-backup-configure-manage.md?tabs=vaulted-backup#grant-permissions-to-the-backup-vault-on-storage-accounts). - You create a backup policy for Azure Blobs vaulted backup. [Learn more](blob-backup-configure-manage.md?tabs=vaulted-backup#create-a-backup-policy). ## Before you start Things to remember before you start configuring blob vaulted backup: - Vaulted backup of blobs is a managed offsite backup solution that transfers data to the backup vault and retains as per the retention configured in the backup policy. You can retain data for a maximum of *10 years*. - Currently, you can use the vaulted backup solution to restore data to a different storage account only. While performing restores, ensure that the target storage account doesn't contain any *containers* with the same name as those backed up in a recovery point. If any conflicts arise due to the same name of containers, the restore operation fails. For more information about the supported scenarios, limitations, and availability, see the [support matrix](blob-backup-support-matrix.md). [!INCLUDE [blob-backup-azure-portal-configure-backup.md](../../includes/blob-backup-azure-portal-configure-backup.md)] ## Next step Restore Azure Blobs by Azure Backup using [Azure portal](blob-restore.md), [Azure PowerShell](restore-blobs-storage-account-ps.md), [Azure CLI](restore-blobs-storage-account-cli.md), [REST API](backup-azure-dataprotection-use-rest-api-restore-blobs.md).
