# Manual Filestore Migration for Azure Blob Storage

Migrate Artifactory filestore to Azure Blob Storage: stop Artifactory, copy filestore directory, configure binarystore.xml, restart.

To migrate your filestore manually, execute the following steps:

1. Stop Artifactory.
2. Copy the `$JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory/filestore` directory to your Azure blob storage (specifically, copy the directory to the container name and path that you specified when you configured Artifactory to use Azure Blob storage).
3. Configure Artifactory to use Azure Blob storage in the `binarystore.xml` file in the `$JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory` folder.
4. Start Artifactory.
