Hello,

A blob storage backup is scheduled to run daily, target is say mybackup. I'm wondering whether there is a Gui tool to automate revolving snapshots of mybackup. For instance day 1 to day 7 and the day 8 will replace day1?

Thank you

Hello

Thank for taking care of my question. However the links does not answer it. I wan't to create snapshots over of a period of time in order to maintain historization of files during that period. Is there a GUI tool to implement that?

hi Nic75,

I am not familiar which tool has this feature. However, I know we could do this feature using code. I suggest you could refer to those blogs:

hi Will,

I appreciate the two links. It shows there is a path, no so obvious to setup to achieve what I am looking for. However, the storage service being used as a backup service, I'm quite surprised there are no ready made tools to achieve this, that is: automating the snapshots, and automating the deletion of old ones.
