Portabase DashboardUsage (How-to)Storage
Azure Blob Storage
Configure Azure Blob Storage as an external storage for your backups.
By default, Portabase stores backups on the local disk of the server. For production environments, we strongly recommend using external storage to:
- Decouple storage from compute resources.
- Benefit from virtually unlimited capacity.
- Ensure data protection through the reliability of dedicated storage solutions.
Creation of a Storage Account and Container
Navigate to the Azure Portal and create a Storage Account (or use an existing one).
Inside the Storage Account, go to Containers and create a new container for your backups.
Go to Access keys and note the Storage account name and Key.
Configuration on the dashboard
In Storage > Channels, click on + Add Storage Channel and choose Azure Blob Storage.
Enter the storage account name, key, and container name previously noted.
Click Add Channel to finalize the configuration.
Verification
- Restart the dashboard:
portabase restart .- Log into the web UI.
- Trigger a manual backup on an agent.
- Check your container in the Azure Portal to confirm the backup file exists.
