# Backup to Azure Blob Storage
To store your backups on Azure Blob Storage, you can configure the backup process to use the `--storage azure` option.
This section explains how to set up and configure Azure Blob-based backups.
---
## Configuration Steps
1. **Specify the Storage Type**
Add the `--storage azure` flag to your backup command.
2. **Set the Blob Path**
Optionally, specify a custom folder within your Azure Blob container where backups will be stored using the `--path` flag.
Example: `--path my-custom-path`.
3. **Required Environment Variables**
The following environment variables are mandatory for Azure Blob-based backups:
- `AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME`: The name of the Azure Blob container where backups will be stored.
- `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME`: The name of your Azure Storage account.
- `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY`: The access key for your Azure Storage account.
---
## Example Configuration
Below is an example `docker-compose.yml` configuration for backing up to Azure Blob Storage:
```yaml
services:
mysql-bkup:
# In production, lock your image tag to a specific release version
# instead of using `latest`. Check https://github.com/jkaninda/mysqlbkup/releases
# for available releases.
image: jkaninda/mysql-bkup
container_name: mysql-bkup
command: backup --storage azure -d database --path my-custom-path
environment:
- DB_PORT=3306
- DB_HOST=mysql
- DB_NAME=database
- DB_USERNAME=username
- DB_PASSWORD=password
## Azure Blob Configuration
- AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME=backup-container
- AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=account-name
- AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY=Ppby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==
# Ensure the mysql-bkup container is connected to the same network as your database

## Key Notes
- **Custom Path**: Use the `--path` flag to specify a folder within your Azure Blob container for organizing backups.
- **Security**: Ensure your `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY` is kept secure and not exposed in public repositories.
- **Compatibility**: This configuration works with Azure Blob Storage and other compatible storage solutions.
