Requirements

• python 3
• pip

Setup Environment

Run the backups

• copy config.yml into config-production.yml
• edit the config-production.yml file and define the following properties:
  • user: Azure Username

  • storage_account_name: the name of the Azure Storage Account
  • storage_account_key: an access key for the Storage Account
  • backup_directory: full path to the backup directory

Output

Azure Storage Backups will create the following directory structure under the backup directory:

.
├── [Year]
│   └── [Month]
│       ├── [Day]
│       │   ├── [Archives of the file found under the Storage Account]
│       │   ├── ...

For example:

.
├── 2017
│   └── 06
│       ├── 23
│       │   ├── bytecode-discourse-27-2017.06.23.01.tar.gz
│       │   ├── fastmovingtargets-discourse-93-2017.06.23.01.tar.gz
