I have a small site that accepts user uploaded images, writes to azure blob storage. Is there File History for Azure Blobs?

Hello,

Azure storage does not have a file history for the files uploaded and downloaded to the blob storage.  Azure has an option to create a blob snapshot, which will backup your blobs. You can refer to the link below for more information on blob snapshot:

We have the capability in BLOB storage of taking a snapshot of a BLOB, which preserves the content of a BLOB at a particular time. We could, for example, use this to keep a historical record of changes to a file over time, with the ability to retrieve an older version of that file.

Hi Rachit,

Thst sounds like a good framework to build a backup solution on, but what I am looking for is a complete turnkey solution. What I would love is some source control type solution for blobs. If a blob is deleted, I would love the ability to undo that deletion in the future. A little right-click menu option would be nice...

thanks,

John

That's the added advantage of creating Blob snapshot. A blob that has snapshots cannot be deleted unless the snapshots are also deleted. You can delete a snapshot individually, or tell the storage service to delete all snapshots when deleting the source blob. If you attempt to delete a blob that still has snapshots, your call will return an error.

I would advise you to explorer more by going through the documentation below:
