+Enhancement: Add support for non-global Azure clouds
+
+Restic backups on Azure only supported storages using the global domain
+`core.windows.net`. This meant that backups to other domains such as Azure
+China (`core.chinacloudapi.cn') or Azure Germany (`core.cloudapi.de`) were
+not supported. Restic now allows overriding the global domain using the 
+environment variable `AZURE_ENDPOINT_SUFFIX'.

+Restic will by default use Azure's global domain ``core.windows.net`` as endpoint suffix.
+You can specify other suffixes as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ export AZURE_ENDPOINT_SUFFIX=<ENDPOINT_SUFFIX>
+
 Afterwards you can initialize a repository in a container called ``foo`` in the
 root path like this:
