Description
The information provided for cloud backups using the backup service appears to be specific to AWS S3 - this documentation appears to be missing information for Azure blob storage which was introduced in 7.1.2.
For example, the "Use Cloud Storage" section provides a description of the fields which should be used, but these all seem specific to AWS:
Eg:
Provider. To use either S3 or S3-compatible storage, select AWS.
Cloud Bucket. The bucket in the cloud to which data will be backed up.
Credential ID. The credential ID for the store. For AWS, this is the access key id. If Instance metadata service has been specified as the value for Cloud Auth Type, this field is inapplicable, and is no longer displayed.
Credential Key. The secret key for the store. For AWS, this is the AWS secret access key. If Instance metadata service has been specified as the value for Cloud Auth Type, this field is inapplicable, and is no longer displayed.
Region. The AWS Region for the repository. For example, us-east-1, us-west-2.
The above fields are all useful for AWS s3, but these are not useful for configuring Azure Blob.
Eg, for the field "Cloud Bucket" its not clear what value should be used when using Azure Blob since Azure blob doesn't use the concept of a 'bucket'.
