Announcing the general availability of Azure Files share snapshot

It has been an exciting last few months since we announced the public preview of Azure Files share snapshot as we see our customers experiencing out-of-the-box snapshot capabilities for their Azure file shares.

 

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Azure Files share snapshots globally in all Azure clouds.

Storage administrators can use snapshots directly and backup providers can now leverage this capability to integrate Azure Files backup and restore capabilities into their products.
