Moving Object Store to Cloud

Chris_Schofield — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 11:26:51 GMT

We are on 11.5, fairly new build but the decision has been taken to move our Object Store from local drive to Azure Blob.

There is content in the current Object Store.

Whats the best way to migrate?

Local drive change documentation suggests:

Backup store
Deregister
Register new location
Restore backup

Has anyone tried this? Is there a 'better' way?

Thanks in advance

Just to answer my own question and confirm, we didn't need to migrate in the end as there was not a lot of stuff in the Object Store and the guys were happy to just republish, so we just deregistered the old one and deleted it, then create the Azure one and registered that.

Good 🙂
Still a valid question!
