Question

I have requirement create the copy of container. I have using the below code. First create the container and then copy the blob file. CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(new StorageCredentials(accountName accountKey) true); CloudBlobClient cloudBlobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); CloudBlobContainer sourceContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference(containerName); CloudBlobContainer targetContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference(targetContainerName); string blobName =  ; CloudBlockBlob sourceBlob = sourceContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName); CloudBlockBlob targetBlob = targetContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName); targetBlob.StartCopyFromBlob(sourceBlob); but Its taking the much time. when blob file are more thousands. so i want to copy full container not one by one blob files.

The best appraoch could be to leverage AzCopy feature of Azure to achieve your results easily. You can take a look at it here its comparatively efficient and faster. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/storage-use-azcopy/#blob-copy You can simply invoke the Azcopy scripts though your C# code and let it execute by itself. Alternatively you can also take a look at https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-net-data-movement/tree/master/samples/DataMovementSamples/DataMovementSamples
