How to move blobs between Azure blob storage containers in java

I have two containers under same storage account. I am trying to move a certain blob from one container to other (release to backup). Right now what I do is download the file from release container and then upload it back again to the backup container. Then I delete the file from release container.

sourceBlobClient.downloadToFile(FILE_LOCAL);
destBlobClient.uploadFromFile(FILE_LOCAL);
sourceBlobClient.delete();

This works but I think there should be a more straight forward way to do this. (copy or move the file from one container to another without downloading the file).

Any help regarding this is much appreciated.

We would like to work closer with you on this matter.

    Could you please tell me what version of your jdk and azure-storage-blob are using? As I understand delete operation is failing and code sample executes successfully am I correct?
