DNAC Assurance Backups

[TheRivanKing]

Hi, Can anyone advise on whether or not an Azure Blob can be used for storing just the Assurance backups from DNAC? We are considering all our options for a backup server and from a financial point of view backing up just the Assurance data to the cloud seems like a good idea but I'm unsure on whether or not it's technically possible even though Azure supports NFS version 4.0. Would also be interested to hear how others are backing up their Assurance data.

Hello @TheRivanKing,

According to the official Administration guide for backup and restore, there are some server requirements that you can find here.

Please search for the equivalent guide according to your DNAC version to ensure that there are no extra prerequisites.

From a technical perspective, if the requirements are met, there should be no issue using Azure Blob.

My suggestion is to use an Azure Blob demo version and try to integrate so as to be sure that it's feasible.
