How to Configure WebGISDR to Save to Azure Storage

PatrickMcKinney99 — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 19:55:54 GMT

I am hoping to save Portal backups to our organization's Azure account using the webgisdr. I have successfully created backups saved to the server's storage disks.

I don't have a lot of experience with Azure. So I'm having trouble figuring out what to put for the various Azure-related variables in the webgisdr configuration file.

The Esri help resource I'm reading is https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/11.1/administer/windows/populate-webgisdr-tool-properties-file.htm.

Thanks for your help,

Patrick

I dont know if this will help at all. This is what I used to push my backups to an S3 bucket in AWS.

PORTAL_ADMIN_URL = https://portalURL:7443/arcgis

PORTAL_ADMIN_USERNAME = username
PORTAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD = password
PORTAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED = true

########## Web GIS backup properties ##########

SHARED_LOCATION = \\\\fileshare\\share\\backup
BACKUP_RESTORE_MODE = full
INCLUDE_SCENE_TILE_CACHES = false
BACKUP_STORE_PROVIDER = AmazonS3

########### S3 Backup Properties ###############
S3_CREDENTIALTYPE = IAMRole
S3_ENCRYPTED = false
S3_BUCKET = s3_bucket_name
S3_REGION = us-region
PORTAL_BACKUP_S3_BUCKET = backupbucket
PORTAL_BACKUP_S3_REGION = us-region

Hey @PatrickMcKinney99 ,

Take a look at the last example on the documentation page you linked. That example should highlight all the parameters which must be populated in order to write a webgisdr backup to Azure Blob storage.
