Prerequisites for protecting Azure Managed Instance databases
These prerequisites are required to protect Azure Managed Instance databases without creating a temporary database.
Note:
Managed Instances use Azure SAS tokens to securely put the data in the form of a .bak file in the Azure Blob.
Create a storage account name, using the following example:
Calculate the hash of the string formed by combining the Subscription ID and Region. Follow this example command:
echo -n "aaaaaaa-bbb-ccc-dd11-aabbccdd11223344eastus" | sha256sum 2e5fb564552100a6060794937fedc33aefe4d01eb7e27971c1a0ed52c3f78b6c
Take only the first 16 chars of the hash, and prefix the characters nbu.
Your string becomes: nbu + 2e5fb564552100a6.
So, the Azure storage account name is: nbu2e5fb564552100a6
For containers, use the following name format:
azure-netbackup-<region>If the container does not exist, the NetBackup agent creates it depending on the availability of permissions.
Management of encryption keys can be according to your organization.
