Manage backup vaults for Azure NetApp Files

Backup vaults store the backups for your Azure NetApp Files subscription.

Although it's possible to create multiple backup vaults in your Azure NetApp Files account, it's recommended you have only one backup vault.

Important

If you have existing backups on Azure NetApp Files, you must migrate the backups to a backup vault before you can perform any operation with the backup.

Create a backup vault

1. In your Azure NetApp Files subscription, navigate to the Backup Vaults menu.

2. Select + Add Backup Vault. Assign a name to your backup vault then select Create.
