Moving the Recalled Data for Microsoft Azure Archive Storage

For Azure Archive Storage, when a Cloud Storage Recall workflow is performed, the data will be recalled from the Archive to Hot storage class and will be copied under the <container>/cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete folder, and the original data will be still present on the Archive tier.

Note

Move Back option is not supported for VSA or SQL Server Agents.

  • If you execute the workflow with restore job as input (Automatic Recall), data will be moved back to archive automatically once the restore job completes.

  • If you execute the workflow with backup job as input (On-Demand Recall), you need to perform the following once the data is successfully recalled and restored.

    • Execute the workflow again with backup job ID.
    • Select the Azure storage policy copy.
    • In the User Inputs window, select the Move back data from Hot to Archive option when prompted. Data will be deleted from the cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete container.

Note

Alternatively, you can configure a life cycle policy to delete recalled data after 7 days from the cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete folder. Use this sample json file to configure the life cycle policy.
