✅ How do I copy data across Azure blob storage in different regions?

[mlarson]

We have recently got some deployments going on Azure. I have some data on the Azure blob storage in one region used by Xcalar and would like to move to another storage account in another region. Do you have anything handy to achieve this and also is there anything I have to do from a Xcalar perspective. Thanks in Advance.

A brute-force method for copying files is to download them locally and the upload them to target region using Azure Storage Explorer.

Microsoft offers another tool called AZCOPY that allows you to move files between storage accounts and between regions (as well as upload/download to you).

AZCOPY was originally for Windows only, but a recent version has been created for Linux/Mac.

Here are three links that you might find helpful:

When you use Azure Storage Explorer to copy between Storage Accounts, the copy is done entirely "in the cloud". It doesn't go through your internet connection and can be extremely fast.
