    2. Double-click the StandaloneTool.exe application file. The AvePoint Cloud Backup for Google Workspace Standalone Tool window appears.

    3. Click Decrypt and export backup data.

    4. In the Backup data location step, select the data type that you want to export.

    5. Select the storage type and configure the storage information by referring to the following instructions.

      Microsoft Azure Blob Storage:

      • Access point – Enter the URL for the Blob Storage Service. The default URL is https://blob.core.windows.net.

      • Container name – Enter the name for the container you wish to access.

      • Account name – Enter the corresponding account name to access the specified container.

      • Account key – Enter the corresponding account key to access the specified container.

      • Extended parameters – Refer to the instructions below to configure Extended parameters, and note that if you have multiple parameters to enter, use the semicolon (;) to separate the parameters.

        • RetryInterval – Customize the retry interval when the network connection is interrupted. You are allowed to enter any positive integer from 0 to 2147483646 (the unit is in milliseconds). For example, RetryInterval=30000 means that it will try to reconnect every 30000 milliseconds.

          If you do not configure this parameter, the value is 30000 milliseconds by default.

        • RetryCount – Customize the reconnection times after the network connection is interrupted. You are allowed to enter any positive integer from 0 to 2147483646. For example, RetryCount=10 represents when the network connection is interrupted, it can reconnect at most 10 times.

          If you do not configure this parameter, the value is 6 by default.

        • RetryMode – Customize the retry mode for the requests not being completed successfully. If this parameter is not configured or configured incorrectly, the Legacy will be applied as the default value. You can also set the value to Standard or Adaptive. Standard represents the standardized request retry strategy which is consistent across all SDKs; Adaptive represents an experimental request retry strategy that builds on the Standard strategy and introduces congestion control through client-side rate limiting.

        • Projection – Customize the projections that can be specified as options in various operations. You can set this value to Full if you want to include all properties, or set this value to NoAcl if you want to omit the ACL (Access Control List) property.

        • PredefinedAcl – Customize a pre-defined ACL of the bucket for simple access control scenarios. The following values are available for this parameter:

          • AuthenticatedRead – This value represents that the object owner gets owner access and all authenticated users get reader access.

        • Allow_Insecure_SSL – By default, the storage client expects an SSL certificate issued by a public trusted certificate authority over HTTPS transport to ensure integrity. A self-signed certificate on the storage server side will fail the certificate validation. If you choose to use a self-signed certificate, you can set the Allow_Insecure_SSL to true in the Extended parameters to bypass the certificate validation.
