Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2

You can use the Commvault software to back up and restore the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 object storage repository.

Backups

Backups You Can Perform

• Full backups

• Incremental backups

• Synthetic full backups

Data You Can Back Up

With full and incremental backups, you can back up the following data at the object level:

• Metadata of the object

• ACLs of the object

After a full backup, if the ACL of an object is modified, but the data has not changed, then the next incremental backup does not include that object. Incremental backups include only objects whose data has changed.

Data You Cannot Back Up

• Files and folders without a name.

• Files and folders that contain a forward slash ("/") in their names.

Restores

Destinations You Can Restore To

• The original location (in place)

• Any of the cloud storage systems

• Disk

Data You Can Restore

You can restore the data, along with the metadata.
