expirydate=$(date -I -d “$(date) + 1 month”)

# Create a Resource Group

az group create –name $groupname –location $location

# Create a Storage Account

az storage account create –name $storagename \

–resource-group $groupname –location $location \

–sku Standard_LRS

# Create a storage container

az storage container create –account-name $storagename –name $container

# Generates an SAS token for the storage container, valid for one month.

# NOTE: You can use the same SAS token to make backups in App Service until –expiry sastoken=$(az storage container generate-sas –account-name $storagename –name $container \ –expiry $expirydate –permissions rwdl –output tsv)

# Construct the SAS URL for the container sasurl=https://$storagename.blob.core.windows.net/$container?$sastoken

# Create an App Service plan in Standard tier. Standard tier allows one backup per day.

az appservice plan create –name $planname –resource-group $groupname –location $location \

–sku S1

# Create a web app

az webapp create –name $webappname –plan $planname –resource-group $groupname

# Create a one-time backup

az webapp config backup create –resource-group $groupname –webapp-name $webappname \

–backup-name $backupname –container-url $sasurl

# List statuses of all backups that are complete or currently executing.

az webapp config backup list –resource-group $groupname –webapp-name $webappname

PowerShell

# Variables

$webappname=”mywebapp$(Get-Random -Minimum 100000 -Maximum 999999)” $storagename=”$($webappname)storage”

$container=”appbackup”

$location=”West Europe”

$backupname=”backup1″

# Create a resource group.

New-AzResourceGroup -Name myResourceGroup -Location $location

# Create a storage account.

$storage = New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup `

-Name $storagename -SkuName Standard_LRS -Location $location

# Create a storage container.

New-AzStorageContainer -Name $container -Context $storage.Context

# Generates an SAS token for the storage container, valid for one month.

# NOTE: You can use the same SAS token to make backups in Web Apps until -ExpiryTime

$sasUrl = New-AzStorageContainerSASToken -Name $container -Permission rwdl `

-Context $storage.Context -ExpiryTime (Get-Date).AddMonths(1) -FullUri

# Create an App Service plan in Standard tier. Standard tier allows one backup per day.

New-AzAppServicePlan -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname `

-Location $location -Tier Standard

# Create a web app.

New-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname ` -Location $location -AppServicePlan $webappname

# Create a one-time backup

New-AzWebAppBackup -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup -Name $webappname `

-StorageAccountUrl $sasUrl -BackupName $backupname

# List statuses of all backups that are complete or currently executing.

# Set the data disk configuration

$diskConfig = new-AzDiskConfig -SkuName “Standard_LRS” -Location “EastUS” `
