How to Sync Exported Data from Azure Blob Storage

About this Page

This page explains how to sync exported data from your Azure Blob Storage container to a local server using AzCopy.

How to locate your data? (Azure Customers)

Prerequisites

  1. Access to the Azure Portal, with permission to generate a SAS token for the relevant blob container.

  2. The path to the specific folder within the blob container that holds the exported data you want to sync.

  3. Terminal or command-line access on the local server, and a destination folder to sync the data into.

How to see Export Data to your Azure Blob Storage  

Step 1: Generate a SAS token for the Azure Blob container

In the Azure Portal, go to the blob container that holds your exported data. Generate a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token with Read and List permissions, both are required so AzCopy can authenticate and detect newly added or updated files. Set an expiry date appropriate for your use (e.g., long enough to cover ongoing syncs).

Step 2: Copy the SAS URL

Copy the generated URL. It consists of the path up to the blob container followed by the SAS token as a query string. Save it temporarily, such as in a text editor, so you can use it in the next step.

Step 3: Locate and copy the export data folder path

In the blob container, navigate to the specific folder containing the exported content you want to sync (for example, an exported Jira folder). Copy that folder's path.


Step 4: Build the full Blob SAS URL

Insert the folder path from Step 3 into the SAS URL from Step 2, placing it between the blob container path and the SAS token. This gives you the complete source URL AzCopy will read from.

Syncing Data from Azure Blob Container to Local server


Step 1: Sync Data from Azure Blob container to Local server

Run a AZ copy sync command to download (sync) all data from Azure Blob container to Local server at intended location (./). Use the SAS url built in step 6 to Sync data from. Please embed SAS URL in quotes. 

Example: azcopy sync “<SAS URL prepared in step 4> <local server destination folder>”

Step 2: Verify the synced data

Check the destination folder, the same folder structure and files from the Azure Blob container should now appear locally.

  • On the local server or machine, create (or choose) the folder where the synced data should be stored.

Step 3: Re-sync when new data is exported

When a new export runs in Azure and a new folder or files are added to the blob container, re-run the same AzCopy command. Only the new or changed content will be copied to the local machine, previously synced files are not re-downloaded.
