You can use a guided setup to configure backups for Azure Blob Storage that cannot be accessed via a public endpoint. This method requires installing a Commvault Cloud backup gateway adjacent to your Azure Blob Storage.
Important
The Commvault Cloud software supports Azure for public clouds only. Sovereign clouds, such as in Germany or China, are not supported. For more information, go to Azure Regions Decision Guide on the Microsoft documentation website.
Before You Begin
You must have credentials to log on to the Azure portal.
Procedure
-
From the Commvault Cloud navigation pane, go to Service Catalog.
The Service Catalog page appears.

Note
When you select a region on this page of the configuration wizard, the Commvault Cloud software filters the cloud storage and Azure resources that you can select on subsequent pages to those in the selected region. This filtering prevents traffic across regions, which can slow performance and increase costs.

To specify one or more backup gateways, do one of the following:
-
From the list of backup gateways available for the region you selected, select one or more backup gateways.
-
Add a new backup gateway, click the refresh icon to refresh the backup gateway list, and then select the backup gateway.
For the backup gateway, if the Enabled from selected virtual networks and IP addresses option is selected in the Security + networking > Networking settings, and if it has a private endpoint enabled for a service, then add the backup gateway's VNet/Subnet as one of the allowed virtual network entries.
