Is it possible to create a .bak file via SQL Server Management Studio on Azure cloud hosting?
Question
I need to create a .bak backup file of my SQL Server database on Azure hosting, because that's the only method which my new hosting supports for restoring a database.
Is this even possible to do? In SQL Server Management Studio, there is no "Backup" option under "Tasks" when I right-click on my database. The SQL Server edition is Standard, not Express.

You can't create .bak files in Azure DB. You will need to perform below steps at a high level to get a .BAK file
- Create a
.bacpacfile for database in Azure - Import that
.bacpacfile to Local SQL Server and restore it - Now you can create a
.Bakfile on local SQL Server
