Adding a Cloud Account for Azure Blob Storage Using the Express Configuration Wizard

The express configuration wizard creates the Azure application that gives the Commvault Cloud software access to the Azure storage accounts that you want to back up, so that you don't have to create the Azure application manually.

If you prefer to create an Azure application manually or if you already have an Azure application that you use for Commvault Cloud, use the custom configuration wizard.
