Microsoft Azure Export SQL Database

Question

I have a problem exporting the database from MS Azure Web Panel. I have a premium account and it says that Storage is not supported for such type of accounts. Now, is it possible to export it in some way or I have to change my account type first?

I have SQL server logins too, but I can't seem to connect to the database via MS SQL Server Manager tool. I copy the server name from the Azure Panel and I use these logins, but it says that server is not available.

By Premium , I am assuming you mean a Premium LRS kind of Storage Account which only supports Page Blobs .

Azure SQL Database export to storage accounts doesn't support Premium storage accounts.

From the documentation link :(Emphasis mine on storage account type)

An Azure subscription.

An Azure SQL Database.

An Azure Standard Storage account with a blob container to store the BACPAC in standard storage.

So, you would need to create a new Standard storage account and use that for backing up your SQL Database.
