Azure backup services for Object Storage

I'm investigating using your Object Storage services for our on-premise application. I see there are replication options for this service but I assume all the replicas are near real-time. I want to be protected from something horrible like an application
defect corrupting or deleting our BLOBs.    The Azure backup service seems to be for backing up on-premise data to the cloud. The Object Storage BLOBs I want to back up will already be in the cloud. Even if I can use Azure
Backup for this, I'd like not to manage it myself. Is there a backup service I can use with the Object Storage service that allows me to have backups but not have to deal with managing/monitoring them?   If so, where can I get pricing information?

Azure backup supports files and folders backup to Azure. if there are Windows VMs or machines using Object Storage services, then install Azure backup agent in the Windows machines to backup the relevant files and folders.

  • Azure backup services and Virtual machines

    If I use the Azure backup service with the Storage server 2012 r2 and backup my virtual machines, can I then use that backup and use the virtual machine service to host them if I have a disaster to my server equipment and use it until my new hardware comes
    in? If so is this a hard thing to do and what would be the best practice to follow to implement this?

    Hi Aaron,
    The Azure Site Recovery is suitable for your situation.
    Azure Site Recovery helps you to protect important applications by coordinating the replication and recovery of physical or virtual machines. You can replicate to your own datacenter, to a hosting service provider, or even to Azure to avoid the expense and
    complexity of building and managing your own secondary location.

  • NAS Storage on Azure Backup Services

    Hi are looking to use the new Azure Backup Services to backup our on premise data. Unfortunately, we use NAS boxes for a large amount of data and mount them as drives and these are not showing as valid backup sources on the agent software.
    Can we use the Azure Backup Services to backup the NAS data or will we have to resort to using a third oarty coupled with a BLOB storage account?
    Regards
    Matt

    Hello Matt,
    Thanks for posting here!
    I think NAS storage backup is not supported by Azure Backup.
    For more information check this link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj573031.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#BKMK_faq_10
    You can use third party software to back it up as a storage blob.

  • Difference in storage method for DMS and Services for Object

    Hi-
    Our R/3 version is: 4.7 Enterprise.
    In most (if not all) of the transactions users execute, there is a feature where they can attach a file using "Services for Object" from their PC to the associated record (i.e. material master, purchase orders, service notifications, etc.) 
    What I would like to know is where the document is stored.  From what I found on help.sap.com it says that it is a link from the user's PC.  But I would guess it is storing a copy of the file as a blob on the R/3 server somewhere.  Is this true?  Or is there a risk if the user's harddrive dies, that the file is no longer available for viewing? 
    I am trying to determine the difference between using the Services for Object feature vs. DMS and setting up an object link for the specific object type (i.e. material).
    Thanks!
    -Jenn

    I found the following about Services for Objects: 
    Business Workplace
    The documents that were appended to an object using Create attachment and Create note are stored in the Business Workplace. There, for example, you can make settings for where the documents should be stored (R/3 System or Web Server) and which document classes may be loaded in the SAP System (for example DOC, but not EXE).
    Sending is also carried out internally using the Business Workplace. Messages are created that contain a link to the object as an attachment. By double-clicking on the attachment, the users can call the default method of the object. This is normally the display method.

  • Services for Object - Store Business Documents (issue with XLSX files)

    Hi,
    We are using the Services for Object > Store Business Document to be able to drag and drop files into (for example) Sales Inquiry, Sales Order, Sales Quotations etc.
    Within OAC2 we have set up the global document types and these have been linked to the relevant Object Types and Content Repositories in OAC3.  We have also set up the Content Repository as Document Area 'ARCHLINK'.
    The ArhciveLink Basic Settings in OAG1 have the 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' set under Storage Settings.
    The issue we are having is with XLSX document types.  When we drag and drop the XLSX documen type using the Store Business Document the file is stored against the Sales Order but when you come to view the attachments MS Excel opens but an error message appears saying 'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
    We have reviewed SAP notes 1925897, 1739026 and 1145885 however non appear to give me a clear answer as to why this is happening?
    I have found that if we unselect the option 'Always Copy Document Class from Document Type' in OAG1 then we can open the XLSX files.
    As we have a significant amount of documents attached to various objects, what would be the implications of making this change agianst existing records and new records?
    Any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Gary B

    Hi David,
    No joy I'm afraid!!
    I added entry 'xlslx' with the relevant MIME Type, Application and Description into table TOADD for the ArchiveLink settings and also this entry was already in tables SDOKMIME and SDOKFEXT for KPro.
    I then following the process via the Services for Object within VA12 (Change Inquiry) to then Create > Store Business document > Select the relevant Document Type > Drag and Drop the XLSX file into the empty box.
    I then saved the record and tried to view the attachement but I am still getting the same message  'Excel cannot open the file '******' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'?
    Our client is on componet SAP_BASIS release 701 Support Level 0014 and Support Package SAPKB70114 and I can see that note 1237688 is for SAPKB70112?

  • Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

    Guys,
    I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
    We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon “SERVICES FOR OBJECT”. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
    -Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
    -If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while  in  DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
    -By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
    -In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
    -Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
    I appreciate for immediate solution and <u><b>Points will be rewarded for sure.</b></u>
    Regards,
    Murali.S

    Hi Murali,
    Don't Worry, its possible,
    All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
    Set up a database storage system.
    Preparation
    Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
    Transaction <b>SMICM,</b> "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
    <u>Typical entry:</u>
    icm/server_port_0         PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
    <b>Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.</b>
    If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
    the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
    Transaction <b>SICF,</b> select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
    Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
    /default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction <b>SICF</b>.  Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
    Check the system PSE.
    Start transaction <b>STRUST</b>. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
    server.
    Determine a suitable exchange directory.
    The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
    server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
    (profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
    Setting up the storage
    Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction <b>SE11</b>, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
    table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
    table as a local object. Activate the table.
    Create a repository.
    Use transaction <b>OAC0</b> to create a new repository.
    Use the following parameters:
    Repository Max. two characters, for example,” Z1”
    DocArea: ARCHLINK
    Storage type: R/3 database
    Storage subtype: normal
    Version no. : 0046 
    Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
    Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
    server\share\
    Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
    1. Maintain view table <b>TOAAR_C</b>, via SM31
       Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
    2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
    3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
    4. Choose 'File store' radio button
    5. Save.
    First
    <b>1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
        IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges   
        (Trxn <b>OANR).</b> Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag. 
    2. Document type <b>HRICOLFOTO</b> must exist with document class JPG.
        IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
        (Table<b> TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).</b>
    3. Document type <b>HRICOLFOTO</b> must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
        IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
        in HR.  (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
       a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
    4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type  
        PREL. IMG: <b>Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table 
       TOAOM_C, Trxn).</b></b>
    Test
    • Test the repository.
    Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
    The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
    notes helps.

  • How integrate azure media services with blob storage?

    I need to upload lots of content over blob storage which contains different types of files.
    Now my problem is that files contains lots of videos also.
    I want to way by which i can integrate azure media services with blob storage so that i can stream that video.
    So probably i don't want to upload my videos on azure media services storage because i want all my content to be at one place which is blob storage.
    Is there any way to achieve this?

    Hi Rajesh
    Every Media Services account needs a blob storage account associated with it. You can choose an existing blob storage account for that purpose. In order for Media Services to work with your videos you need to create an asset using the Media Services APIs.
    That call results in the creation of a container which has the name in the following format asset-<AssetId>. The actual video files need to go as blobs within this container but these files need to be known to Media Services and you can do so by adding
    AssetFiles to the asset using the Media Services APIs. Once you do that the asset is well known to Media Services and you can stream it.

  • Advantage of DMS over "Services for object" functionality

    Hi Experts,
    I have got very basic doubt about advantages of DMS Over existing standard functionality of SAP.
    We can attach documents or files to SAP Objects using "services for object" push button ( Next to title bar).
    So please answer for my below queries
    1. What is the disadvantage of using Services for Object??
    2. If I use services for object, then file is stored in SAP Data base or in my local drive??
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hello ,
    DMS Vs GOS
    DMS- Document Management System
    The Document Management System (DMS) in SAP R/3 offers the following distinct advantages over the current procedures and systems.
    u2022     It avoids data redundancy, maintains consistency of data and minimizes the workload involved in entering and updating data.
    u2022     In order to use large databases to the full, it is required to exchange data quickly and securely.  Data can be accessed directly using electronic search tools, or find documents using known parameters. 
    u2022     Document distribution functionality  (SAP-Workflow functionality is required)
    The SAP R/3 Document Management System meets all these demanding requirements.  In addition to managing documents, it also coordinates document processing.  It is possible to automate the entire life cycle of a document: from document creation to document storage, its access and its update.  Each document can be accessed immediately from any computer on the netwerk.
    GOS-
    All these DMS advantages are not available with GOS.

  • Services for Object in creation mode

    Hi colleagues,
    I am facing one problem and I would appreciate your help and ideas. I want to enable user to use a functionality of "Services for object" in creation mode (in my case transaction IW31). In change or display mode this functionality is enabled, so creating new BOR object and such things are not necessary.
    I understand that services for object are disabled by default in creation mode, because it is not meaningful to assign some documents to object which does not yet exist. But in theoretical way, it should be possible to implement some "tricky" solution. Probably some temporary object could be created at the start of IW31 and attachments could be assigned to this object. And in some user exit executed during processing of save statement (after all checks and such things), attachments could be re-assigned to a real (persistent) object. For unsaved orders it would be necessary to delete temporary object and also attached documents.
    Have someone implemented something similar? Or any helpful ideas?
    Thank you all in advance.

  • Services for object buttons randomly disappearing from FB03

    Hello SAP Experts,
    We display an FI document via tcode FB03 (Display Document) and use the "services for object" buttons to attach documents via the "create attachment" button and also to view attached documents via the "attachment list" button.
    However, quite often when displaying the FI document after a document has been attached, the "services for objects" buttons are not displayed.  Just a blank toolbar appears.
    Later on the when the FI document is displayed again via tcode FB03 (Display Document), the "services for objects" buttons do appear and the attachments can then be displayed.
    As the attachments can be viewed sometimes, I would say that this issue is not related to security.
    Any idea's what maybe causing the "services for objects" buttons randomly disappearing???
