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 review the [support matrix](../backup/blob-backup-support-matrix.md) to learn about the Azure Blob region availability, supported scenarios, and limitations. - Have a Backup vault to configure Azure Blob backup. If you don't have a Backup vault, [create one](../backup/backup-blobs-storage-account-cli.md#create-a-backup-vault). - Install the Azure CLI `dataprotection` extension version 1.10.0 or later to configure auto-protection for present and future containers. ## Create a backup policy [!INCLUDE [blob-backup-create-policy](../../includes/blob-backup-create-policy-cli.md)] ## Configure backup [!INCLUDE [blob-backup-configure-policy](../../includes/blob-backup-configure-policy-cli.md)] ## Prepare the request to configure blob backup [!INCLUDE [blob-backup-prepare-request](../../includes/blob-backup-prepare-request-cli.md)] ## Next steps 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).
