Create a scheduled backup for a web app using PowerShell

This sample script creates a web app in App Service with its related resources, and then creates a scheduled backup for it.

If needed, install the Azure PowerShell using the instruction found in the Azure PowerShell guide, and then run Connect-AzAccount to create a connection with Azure.

Sample script

Note

We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. To get started, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

$webappname="mywebapp$(Get-Random -Minimum 100000 -Maximum 999999)"
$storagename="$($webappname)storage"
$container="appbackup"
$location="West Europe"

# Create a resource group.
New-AzResourceGroup -Name myResourceGroup -Location $location

# Create a storage account.
$storage = New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup `
-Name $storagename -SkuName Standard_LRS -Location $location

# Create a storage container.
New-AzStorageContainer -Name $container -Context $storage.Context

# Generates an SAS token for the storage container, valid for 1 year.
# NOTE: You can use the same SAS token to make backups in Web Apps until -ExpiryTime
$sasUrl = New-AzStorageContainerSASToken -Name $container -Permission rwdl `
-Context $storage.Context -ExpiryTime (Get-Date).AddYears(1) -FullUri

# Create an App Service plan in Standard tier. Standard tier allows one backup per day.
New-AzAppServicePlan -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname `
-Location $location -Tier Standard

# Create a web app.
New-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname `
-Location $location -AppServicePlan $webappname

# Schedule a backup every day, beginning in one hour, and retain for 10 days
Edit-AzWebAppBackupConfiguration -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname `
-StorageAccountUrl $sasUrl -FrequencyInterval 1 -FrequencyUnit Day -KeepAtLeastOneBackup `
-StartTime (Get-Date).AddHours(1) -RetentionPeriodInDays 10

# List statuses of all backups that are complete or currently executing.
Get-AzWebAppBackupList -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname

# (OPTIONAL) Change the backup schedule to every 2 days
$configuration = Get-AzWebAppBackupConfiguration -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup `
-Name $webappname
$configuration.FrequencyInterval = 2
$configuration | Edit-AzWebAppBackupConfiguration
