How to Copy All Containers along with Blobs from one Azure storage account to other storage account

Question

I have two Azure Storage accounts. On one of the Storage account, there are almost 100 containers and some blobs in those containers. I want to transfer all these containers along with the blobs in it to other Storage account.

I have seen many tools copying the blobs from one container to other, but didn't come across any that copies the whole containers aswell. Please help with this.

Thanks

It's a bit late but this PowerShell script will do it...

#Server side storage copy
$SourceStorageAccount = "sourceAccountName"
$SourceStorageKey = "sourceAccountAPIKey"
$DestStorageAccount = "destinationAccountName"
$DestStorageKey = "destinationAccountAPIKey"
$SourceStorageContext = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $SourceStorageAccount -StorageAccountKey $SourceStorageKey
$DestStorageContext = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $DestStorageAccount -StorageAccountKey $DestStorageKey

$Containers = Get-AzureStorageContainer -Context $SourceStorageContext

foreach($Container in $Containers)
{
    $ContainerName = $Container.Name
    if (!((Get-AzureStorageContainer -Context $DestStorageContext) | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $ContainerName }))
    {   
        Write-Output "Creating new container $ContainerName"
        New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $ContainerName -Permission Off -Context $DestStorageContext -ErrorAction Stop
    }

    $Blobs = Get-AzureStorageBlob -Context $SourceStorageContext -Container $ContainerName
    $BlobCpyAry = @() #Create array of objects

    #Do the copy of everything
    foreach ($Blob in $Blobs)
    {
       $BlobName = $Blob.Name
       Write-Output "Copying $BlobName from $ContainerName"
       $BlobCopy = Start-CopyAzureStorageBlob -Context $SourceStorageContext -SrcContainer $ContainerName -SrcBlob $BlobName -DestContext $DestStorageContext -DestContainer $ContainerName -DestBlob $BlobName
       $BlobCpyAry += $BlobCopy
    }

    #Check Status
    foreach ($BlobCopy in $BlobCpyAry)
    {
       #Could ignore all rest and just run $BlobCopy | Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState but I prefer output with % copied
       $CopyState = $BlobCopy | Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState
       $Message = $CopyState.Source.AbsolutePath + " " + $CopyState.Status + " {0:N2}%" -f (($CopyState.BytesCopied/$CopyState.TotalBytes)*100) 
       Write-Output $Message
    }
}

...I've ammended his code removing nasty long dashes and added code to loop through the containers instead of specifying them manually.
