I’m looking for the best way to prevent accidental deletion by IT – perhaps copying to disk or a separate Azure Storage account or Amazon. What tools can do this? Redgate Cloud Services seems like the closest fit for what I want but it seems to require config per container. I know of some other tools like Cloud Storage Studio and Azure Sync Tool exist but I don’t think they support scheduled backups of blob storage.

Windows Azure storage is backed up Geo-replication which means there are total 6 copies of your data at any given time. There is no built-in service available in Windows Azure to backup data on Azure Storage to outside Azure Storage or user defined location.
Windows Azure Azure is manged by RESTful interface so 3rd party vendors have created application for such purposes. Besides above I had chance to use Gladinet Cloud Backup solution could be useful in your case. Based on my experience, there are a few backup tools available however and not a single one perfect to match everybody expectation.
