Looking for a tool to continuously clone an Azure Storage account.

Hi all, I’m looking for some sort of software tool that allows me to clone Azure blobs onto local storage.

For Midwest Streams we store all of our funerals in Azure blobs. For backup we are using Azure’s Geo Redundant feature. However, I would like a backup outside of Azure. So I bought a Raspberry Pi and a 12TB hard drive. Now I just need a way to sync them.

I could easily write this myself. But if someone knows a tool that’s free or $10-30 I’d much rather use something pre-built!

    You should be able to use https://rclone.org/ - it has both a copy mode (that won't delete files) and a sync mode (that will).

    You can even use it to mirror your data to another cloud provider (S3, Digital Ocean, etc)
