# Quickstart: Configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs using Azure Backup via Azure CLI
This quickstart describes how to configure vaulted backup for Azure Blobs using Azure CLI. 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.
- You have a Backup vault to configure Azure Blob backup. If you haven't created the Backup vault, [create one](../backup/backup-blobs-storage-account-ps.md#create-a-backup-vault).
## Create a backup policy
[!INCLUDE [blob-backup-create-policy-cli.md](../../includes/blob-backup-create-policy-cli.md)]
## Configure backup
[!INCLUDE [blob-backup-configure-policy-cli.md](../../includes/blob-backup-configure-policy-cli.md)]
## Prepare the request to configure blob backup
[!INCLUDE [blob-backup-prepare-request-cli.md](../../includes/blob-backup-prepare-request-cli.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).
