Required User Credentials

[Flosum User] - SystemAdministrator Role

Overview

By default, Flosum Backup & Archive stores data in a Flosum-managed AWS S3 bucket. However, customers may optionally use their own Azure Blob for data storage. This guide explains how to configure your Flosum tenant to use a customer-managed Azure Blob bucket instead.

Unlike an AWS S3 Bucket, an Azure Blob doesn't require you to configure any APIs or Policies to connect with Flosum Cloud Apps.

  1. From any Flosum Cloud App, click the App Switcher icon in the dropdown menu from the sidebar menu.

  2. Click Global Settings.

  3. The Global Settings app will open in a new tab.

Global Settings can also be accessed by directly logging in using your region's Global Settings URL. See the following article for login instructions.
