# Getting Started with the Microsoft Azure Snapshot Storage

To set up a Microsoft Azure Snapshot storage, review system requirements, and if you need to manage different subscriptions, add the Snapshot storage entry. Then, configure a client.

1. Review system requirements. See System Requirements.

2. If you have just one subscription, then you do not need to configure any additional snapshot storage because by default, snapshots created by the Microsoft Azure snapshot engine are associated with the Azure-Default-MSI storage.

3. If you have more than one subscription and want to manage snapshots from different subscription separately, then you need to configure one snapshot storage entry for each subscription. For more information, see Configuring One Snapshot Storage Entry For Each Subscription.

4. Configure a client that uses the snapshot storage. For more information, see Supported Agents and IntelliSnap with Microsoft Azure Snapshot Configuration.
