Prerequisite for Protecting Storage Account in Appranix

Using the storage account protection option, customers can replicate block blob data from one storage account to another storage account in the target region. This feature utilizes Azure's Object Replication policy.

Prerequisites

• To use this feature, we need target storage accounts pre-created for each source Storage accounts. (Note: This is only for the assemblies that have enabled cross Region replication)
• The target storage account should not have any object replication policy enabled.
• Storage account mapping between the source and the target should be unique.
• The source and target storage accounts should be of kind V2 (Azure supports replication only for the V2 storage accounts).

Azure Limitations

• Storage account of Kind V2 are only supported for storage account protection (Azure Supports replication for this kind only)
• Storage accounts with more than 1000 containers are not supported (Azure supports only the replication of 1000 containers max)
• Storage accounts already with two object replications enabled are not supported. (Azure supports only two object replication policies for a storage account.)
• Premium storage accounts are not supported. Only block blobs present in the containers will be protected.
