I need to create a clone of an Azure storage account based on a particular time (not the latest). The source storage account won't be rollbacked to the particular time and make a clone of it. I need the source storage account be remain as it is and make a clone on a previous state of the storage account.

Example:

I need to make a clone of the storage account A which was at the state of yesterday 1.00pm, to storage account B

enter image description here

  • Point-in-time restore doesn't work here cause I don't want to rollback my source storage account.

  • You've specified what you *need*, but not what you've *tried* and what you ran into trying to solve your requirement that way. Please refer to [ask]. On-topic: have you looked at [Point-in-time restore for block blobs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/point-in-time-restore-overview)? – rickvdbosch Oct 11 '21 at 06:50
  • I've looked on point-in-time-restore. It's not working with this case. – Sashin Sahasra Oct 11 '21 at 10:47

AFAIK, this feature is not available in Azure Storage. There's a point-in-time restore feature and also there's an object replication feature but both of them will not work in your scenario as per my understanding.

Point-in-time restore will restore the blobs based on a restore point. However it will only restore the blobs in the same account. Restoring blobs in a separate storage account is not supported today. You can learn more about this feature here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/point-in-time-restore-overview.

Object replication feature will asynchronously copy the blobs from one storage account to another but you cannot specify a restore point. Only thing you could specify is the creation time of the blob. You can learn more about this feature here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/object-replication-overview.
