Let's break down the differences between cloning an App Service and performing a backup & restore of an App Service:
Cloning an App Service:
- Purpose: Cloning an app service creates a duplicate of your existing app service, including its configuration, code, and settings.
- Steps: You create a clone of your app service. The clone is independent of the original, and any changes made to one do not affect the other.
- Limitations: Cloning is at the app service level, so it doesn’t allow fine-grained selection of specific services within a resource group. It’s a straightforward copy, so you’ll need to adjust settings (like connection strings) if needed.
- Advantages: Quick and easy way to create a replica. Minimal downtime during migration.
Backup and Restore:
- Purpose: Backup and restore involve creating a backup of your app service and then restoring it to a new location.
- Steps: Take a backup of your app service (either traditional or snapshot-based). Restore the backup to the desired location.
- Advantages: Allows you to move specific app services or databases within a resource group or across subscriptions2.
In summary, cloning is a quick way to create an exact copy of your app service, while backup and restore give you more flexibility and control over what you want to move and where.
Please note that both methods may require some adjustments in the App Configuration.
