The Azure page of the Options window (accessible from the File, Options->Online connections menu item) contains Azure settings.
When Azure server not ready
The first number (Retry option) indicates how many times the application tries to access the destination server if it is not available. By default this option is set to 5 attempts. The second number (wait option) indicates how many seconds to wait between two consecutive attempts to access the destination location. By default this option is set to 60 seconds. This option is useful when the destination Azure server has restrictions (i.e. only 2 users logged in the same time, no. of accesses etc.) and insures that if the Azure server cannot accept your connection, it will not be "hammered" by sending log-in requests frequently.
Configurations
The File->Options->Online connections->Azure window allows you to define Azure configurations that can be used on the Destination page in the New Backup Wizard or Backup Properties windows. You can add, edit, copy or delete an Azure connection using this window.
In order to add a new Azure connection press the Add button. The Define Azure configuration window will appear in the list and you can enter the other settings for this connection.
