I have an account on azure and build a cluster on it (Chemalivethermotest). It has a storage account and I just by mistake erase all data on it (I misanderstood something on the online azure interface). Is there a way to recover the datas? I see there are no files anymore but there are still blob. Are they allowing to recover things?
Thanks you very much for your help.
This is an issue you will have to take up directly with Azure support, there is no technical answer. Good luck!

We hired a guy to push a bunch of PST's to Azure (to be put into mailboxes) and he disappeared. We know he used a SAS URI and we know he did push the data up. We looked in storage explorer and dont see the data in any of our storage accounts. The guy deleted the original PST's so we cant just push the data back up.
as far as we know, he was using this guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/use-network-upload-to-import-pst-files?view=o365-worldwide
can we find the SAS URI he used somewhere in azure?
can we explore this data somehow?
Any help is appreciated, thanks so much.
can we find the SAS URI he used somewhere in azure?
Sadly no. Azure does not store the SAS URI anywhere.
can we explore this data somehow?
You would need to know the storage account where the files were uploaded. Without that you will not be able to explore this data.
I want to create a backup for azure SQL databases that are not currently used to some low-cost storage account. I don't want to pay for those dbs as no operation are done on them. But I might need that data in the future. Extraction time is not an issue. So just want to know what are the different methods to do the same.
If I understood the question correctly then I would suggest for that database which you might not need immediately you can take back on azure blob storage.
There is a good blog for it

Just follow it.
Hope this will help you.
I am very new to Azure, so posting this query. I just want to copy a flat file from an on-prem server to Azure BLOB storage daily basis. I thought "azcopy" will be a good solution for this requirement. But challenge is we can not configure "azcopy" utility in that on-prem server and can not schedule any cron job as this sever is owing by our client. So we thought of running "azcopy" utility from one of the Unix VM in Azure cloud and want to pull the file and transfer to Azure BLOB storage.
I am not getting any clear idea from documentation that "azcopy" can work as a pull manner or not.
Can anyone help me to understand whether my approach will work or not ? and if not then please give me some idea how to do this.
Please see below diagram depicting what I want to achieve.
AzCopy is not designed to be used in that way.
If there's any way for you to access the file, that will be up to your customer and you'd have to ask their network security folks how they would expect it to be done. But most customers (or at least all the ones I worked with before joining Microsoft) prefer push not pull models, since the security for push is more standard and easier to set up.
I have quite a few shared files in an azure file share, what is the best backup method for these?
This is in case a user deletes a file and I need to recover, I understand that the files on azure storage are written across multiple disks
There is no real answer to this, you can use any backup solution\technic you desire.
As for the Azure side, Azure does provide a way to do this, but for blobs only. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazurestorage/2012/06/12/introducing-asynchronous-cross-account-copy-blob/
edit: As Gaurav pointed out, you could async copy the Azure Files.

I have a Azure website that allows customers to upload documents. There are a lot of documenet (~200Gb so far).
I need a way to backup the documents to another location (Azure or other location), or have live replication to a server. Is there anything I can use that will do this?
Have you looked at Azure storage redundancy options? The geo redundant option might solve your replication need.

You can use Cloudberry. Here is the link to their website. The tool will not give you cloud storage, but will assist in backup process. It can back up either to the cloud or to the local storages.
