This section demonstrates and discusses sample commands, which you can use to upload existing backups that are present on a file system to Azure Blob Storage, and to download backups from Azure Blob Storage to a file system on host.

Starting from version 11.2.1.0, nz_azconnector is called nz_azConnector.

This backup can be later restored by using the nzrestore command with a file system or the Azure storage connector.
