PBS 4.0 was released recently with support for "S3-compatible object stores". Would azure blob storage be considered "S3-compatible"?
PBS backups in Azure storage
- Thread starter tlex
- Start date
Please note, that the S3 support in PBS is still experimental/technology preview and thus shouldn't be used as sole backup target. Even in the future I see it more as something like the tape backup: Not the first backup target, but an offsite storage you sync your primary local datastore to.
Regarding azure and blob store I googled for "azure blog storage s3 compatible", first two result were these:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/a...tibility-between-azure-blob-storage-and-s3-pr
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1183760/s3-api-support-over-azure-blob-storage
According to these results Azure is not compatible with S3 and thus can't be used by PBS. There is some third-party compatibility proxy but such an approach feels far to "hacky" that I would be comfortable in trusting my backups with it.
