Answer 1

You need to create the CREDENTIAL either with account key or SAS token by using below command:

Using the URL and the access key

CREATE CREDENTIAL [Credential_BLOB]
WITH IDENTITY= 'storage account url',
SECRET = 'storage account key'; 

Using the Shared Access Signature (SAS)

CREATE CREDENTIAL [Credential_Name_SAS]
WITH IDENTITY = 'SHARED ACCESS SIGNATURE',
SECRET = 'SASToken';

Now, you can restore the backup from the bak file stored in Azure Blob Storage using below command:

RESTORE DATABASE Database_Name FROM URL = 'https://StorageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net/ContainerName/SampleDatabase.bak'
WITH CREDENTIAL = 'Credential_BLOB'
