#Manage Your Storage

Cloud Backup for SaaS Applications supports use your own storage for application resilience. Navigate to Settings > Storage profiles, and all the storage profiles are displayed in the table.

If you are using your own storage, you can choose to use the following storage type: Microsoft Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage. In addition, if you may have set up the storage firewall to only allow trusted clients to access your storage, read the instructions in the Allow AvePoint Agent Servers to Access Your Storage Account section carefully and complete the settings as needed.

If you have updated your subscription from using default storage to your own storage, you must navigate to this page, click Change to my own storage link to configure the storage profiles connecting to your own storage. Otherwise, the backup will be interrupted.

If you updated the subscription by using your own storage to default AvePoint storage, the backup service will force a full backup for the subsequent backup job in the schedule and automatically store the backup data to the default AvePoint storage. The legacy backup data stored on your own storage can still be used for restoring until it expires the retention period.
