Implement and Manage Storage Tips
- To Copy Files to Storage account using Import/Export Service you Should Create two Files (Driveset CSV File) and (Dataset CSV File) ➡️ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-import-export-data-to-files
- Azure Import/Export Service is used to secure a large amount of data to Azure Blob Storage and Azure File by shipping disk drives to an Azure Datacenter and the maximum size of the Azure Files resource of a file share is 5 TB ➡️ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-import-export-service
- IF you plan to map the Azure file share as a drive on your local machine you should ensure the Port 445 is open because SMP protocol required this port ➡️ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-windows
- IF You need to synchronize the files in the file share to an on-premises server You should Create Sync Group on Azure File Share > then install the Azure File Sync agent on the on-premises server > then you need to register the server from Azure portal. ➡️ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-sync-files-deployment-guide
- You cannot delete recovery service vault if it is registered to a server and holds backup data you should remove vault dependencies and delete the Vault by doing scroll on the vault and select the backup item and stop and delete the backup item protected by this vault add in your notes that the Deleted backup data will be retained for 14 days. After that time, backup data will be permanently deleted ➡️ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-delete-vault
- General-purpose v2 accounts deliver the lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices for Azure Storage, as well as industry-competitive transaction prices. ➡️ https://mostafaelmasry.com/2020/04/09/microsoft-azure-storage-kind-and-architecture/
- Locally-redundant storage (LRS): A simple, low-cost replication strategy. Data is replicated within a single storage scale unit. ➡️ https://mostafaelmasry.com/2020/04/09/microsoft-azure-storage-kind-and-architecture/
- Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS): Cross-regional replication with reading access to the replica. RA-GRS provides read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in addition to geo-replication across two regions, but is more expensive compared to GRS. ➡️ https://mostafaelmasry.com/2020/04/09/microsoft-azure-storage-kind-and-architecture/
- By default, storage accounts accept connections from clients on any network. To limit access to selected networks, you must first change the default action
- A Recovery Services vault is a storage entity in Azure that houses data. The data is typically copying of data, or configuration information for virtual machines
(VMs), workloads, servers, or workstations. You can use Recovery Services vaults to hold backup data for various Azure services ➡️ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-tutorial-enable-replication - A Recovery Services vault is a storage entity in Azure that houses data.

- Attach an external disk to Server and then run waimportexport.exe (Determine data to be imported, number of drives you need, destination blob location for your data in Azure storage and Use the WAImportExport tool to copy data to disk drives. Encrypt the disk drives with BitLocker.)
- From the Azure portal, create an import job (Create an import job in your target storage account in Azure portal. Upload the drive journal files.)
- Detach the external disks from Server and ship the disks to an Azure data center. (Provide the return address and carrier account number for shipping the drives back to you then Ship the disk drives to the shipping address provided during job creation.)
- From the Azure portal, update the import job (Update the delivery tracking number in the import job details and submit the import job. Then The drives are received and processed at the Azure data center. Then The drives are shipped using your carrier account to the return address provided in the import job.)
