Issue porting page-blob to blockblob

[qootec]

Scenario:

• Using Windows download for 0.6.20
• I have a vhdx uploaded to Azure. By design, it became a page blob.
• I planned to move it to archive, but page blobs can't be archived. I wasn't aware of that...
• I now want to use blobporter to duplicate the blob to a blockblob and remove the pageblob afterwards
  (later I want to do that on several TB of VHDX that I've uploaded)

The command I tried (with some confidential info removed):

blobporter -f "https://saMyAccount.blob.core.windows.net/system20211012/Part1/Backup%202021-10-12%20073026/complexID.vhdx" -n Part1/Backup%202021-10-12%20073026/complexID.vhdx.removeExtension -c system20211012 -t blob-blockblob

Issue (with some confidential info removed):

Analysis:

• It feels as if the page blob is not allowed as a source, while this is the purpose of the "blob-blockblob" transfer type, I guess.
• I don't see another more specific transfer type in the sources of https://github.com/Azure/blobporter/blob/master/transfer/transfer.go
• I tried to specify "-n simpleName" but that doesn't help.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Johan

For your information: I've worked around the issue using "azcopy" instead of blobporter.
That solution seems to work fine.

I've also had a similar issue, but in my case it's documentation related. Long story-short, it appears converting from page blobs to block blobs is only possible within the same storage account and for a whole container from one container to another:

Example - this works:

$env:ACCOUNT_NAME="<account A name>"
.\BlobPorter.exe -f "https://<account A name>.blob.core.windows.net/srccontainer" -c destcontainer -t blob-blockblob```

Example - this fails:

$env:ACCOUNT_NAME="<account B name>"
$env:SRC_ACCOUNT_KEY="abc...."
.\BlobPorter.exe -f "https://<account A name>.blob.core.windows.net/srccontainer" -c destcontainer -t blob-blockblob```
