Announcing the Public Preview of Vaulted Backup
for Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS)!
Azure Backup now
supports vaulted protection for ADLS, delivering secure, off-site backups that
ensure business continuity and compliance—even in cases of accidental deletion,
malicious activity, or ransomware. Vaulted backups maintain an independent copy
of your data, isolated from the source account.
Key Capabilities:
- Off-site
protection:
Recover data even if the source account is compromised. Restore to
original or alternate accounts.
- Resilience
against deletion and attacks: Isolated backups protect against insider threats and
ransomware.
- Automated
& flexible scheduling: Configure daily/weekly schedules or trigger on-demand
backups.
- Long-term
retention: Store
backups for up to 10 years to meet compliance and archival needs.
- Security-first
design: Features
like soft-delete, immutability, encryption, and multi-user authorization
safeguard vault data.
During public
preview, you can configure vaulted backups for block blobs in HNS-enabled
standard general-purpose v2 ADLS Gen2 accounts in the regions mentioned here. For more details, refer to this article.
