Sql Server Backup to URL (Azure)

Question

I'm trying to take advantage of the new backup to url function in SQL Server. I have created a valid cert and tried a simple backup, but I get the same error every time no matter what I try.
I have also tried creating a new managed backup. With the managed backup I see a new storage container but get no new blobs. When I look through the logs it is getting the same error.

example:

BACKUP DATABASE [mydb] 
TO  URL = 'https://mybackups.blob.core.windows.net/sqltest-mssqlserver/backup_2014_08_08.bak' 
WITH  
CREDENTIAL = N'AzureCreds' , 
STATS = 1
GO

Message:

Msg 3293, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
An error occurred while Backup/Restore to URL was initializing. Error message: Internal engine error, invalid parameters caused fatal error.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Answer 1

I suggest that use of Redgate backup pro . by this software you can copy your backup in other location (mirror), network, Host storage. You can use URL in network location or mirror location.

Answer 2

This may or may not be helpful to you, but here is a script I used to backup to URL and restore from URL to a new database.

create credential MyStorage 
with identity='mystorage',
secret = 'secretkey';
GO

backup database mydb1
to URL='https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test1/mydb1.bak'
with credential = 'MyStorage';
GO

restore database mydb2
from URL='https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/test1/mydb1.bak'
with credential = 'MyStorage',
move 'mydb1' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLENT2014\MSSQL\DATA\mydb2.mdf',
move 'mydb1_log' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLENT2014\MSSQL\DATA\mydb2_log.ldf';
GO
