Synchronize Files to Azure Blob Storage with AZCopy

Ғылым және технология

Version 10 of AZCopy.exe can now delete files at the destination to keep it in complete sync with the source. This video shows how to sync a local file directory to an Azure Storage Account. Used with Soft Delete on Azure Storage, this provides an interesting alternative to traditional backup solutions.

    Perfect, and on the other hand I use a GUI alternative to Azcopy called "Gs Richcopy360" which copy from windows and VM(Azure) to Azure blob easily, faster, super friendly and we can throttle the connection, so the bandwidth can't be consumed. Google it

    Thanks Travis for the helpful info, Azcopy was excellent with us while migrating our file shares from windows to Azure blob but it is really so strong and fast and this causes a bandwidth-consuming, we found some tools that have the ability to migrate to Azure blob with the ability to control the transfer speed like Sharegate and Gs Richcopy 360 but both are paid, any idea, how can I solve this with AZcopy?

    I realize this is an older video now, but I'm wondering if I could leverage AZCopy to sync Azure file shares contents to an immutable Azure blob for immutable backups. I can't find any indications that Microsoft natively provides immutable Azure Files backup capabilities, but I sure hope that's on their road map. My guess is that Azure Files are nothing more than an abstraction layer for Azure Blobs anyways in which case it should be relatively easy for Microsoft to provide immutable Azure File backups.

    That was great Session Travis Roberts, thanks for the Video, I can understand Az Copy better now. I have a question, there is a folder in our Azure IIS VM and there will be files loaded to that folder daily which are like invoice pdfs, we would like to replicate using Az Copy Sync Command, is it possible? Or by any other means, please note this job will be running every hour so somehow we need to add date and time in the command so it doesn't pick up the old files (it needs to only pick up the files after the last run). I am not sure if this is possible. May be we can Batch Job hourly but how do we pass the date and time... Thanks

I have a requirement where I want to process the Azure Blob file only when file size greater that 0kb if the Azure Blob file is 0kb or duplicate file then my job should send alter notification or abort the job or should not process the 0 byte file. Can you help me to achieve this functionality.I tried through PS script but not getting it. Thanks in advance.Waiting for your reply

    AZCopy has an option to preserve the NTFS permission. I'm not sure if BLOB container will retain it after copying the files from the on prem file server. I have not tried it but that would be nice instead of manually assigning the folder group (with RBAC roles) to hundreds of folders.

    Hey Travis, Can AZCopy be used to sync files with Azure File share as well as Blobs? If not and only Blobs can be used, can users map to the Blob the way they would Azure File share by way of SMB (with a S2S or P2S ofcourse) using the netuse command as you demonstrated in your other post? Thanks in advance.

    That would require a script that copies the file locally, then deletes the source. AZCopy could be used for the download, but PowerShell may be better suited along with some verification that the file is downloaded before the delete.

    If you've come here because your AZCOPY statements are failing in a batch file, the fix is changing all % in the signature to %% (escaped them), and let it run normally.

    The difficult part is getting the web job or function to communicate with your internal network. My suggestion is to use Event Grid on the storage account to trigger an Azure Automation on a hybrid worker inside your network to copy the data. Another option may be to use Event Grid to trigger a Logic App with a data gateway to move the data to the local file system.
