Configure Azure snapshot storage settings

In the Azure Snapshot Storage Settings page, you can specify a suffix for the resource group name which is used to create snapshots in an alternate resource group other than that of the resource itself or you can specify a specific Resource Group to store the snapshots. The alternate resource group must be created in the Azure portal.

About this task

You can also add Azure storage accounts which are required for cross-region copying of snapshots in CSM. The storage accounts must be created in the Azure portal for each region that you are copying to. The storage account type must be either General-purpose v1 or General-purpose v2. The storage account that is created in the Azure portal is configured for an Azure account in CSM. Assign a storage account for each Azure region that you are copying to.

Steps

  1. In the Cloud Accounts page, click Snapshot Storage next to an Azure cloud account.
    The Azure Snapshot Storage Settings page is displayed.
  2. (Optional) To copy snapshots to an alternate resource group, select Use Alternate Snapshot Resource Group and enter the suffix of the resource group to which the snapshots are copied or to copy snapshots to a specific resource group, select Use a specific Resource Group
