Backup an Azure WebApp using Azure PowerShell

Question

I want to backup an Azure WebApp using PowerShell script. I know the manual way of backing up the web app through the Azure Portal. I am looking for an programmatic way (preferably PowerShell) to accomplish the same just like we can backup an Azure VM using PowerShell. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can do this with the rest api which can be called from powershell. For a walk through: websites-csm-backup
