--- 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: 03/13/2026 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). > [!CAUTION] > *Azure Backup is not supported for Storage Accounts enabled with network security perimeter. We recommend not associating an account with network security perimeter if you have backups enabled or if you plan to use Azure Backup.*   > ## 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).
