I'm using SQL Azure on a project and it works great. The problem is that the usual backup features do not exist. I have exported the database a couple of times using SQLAzureMW ( http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/ ) but this tool is now choking trying to download the database data with bcp. In any case, it's not as nice a solution as SQL Server backups.
Is anyone aware of a commercial or open source tool, or other technique, for making reliable backups of SQL Azure databases? This is really a showstopper.
Starting with update 4, SQL Azure now supports database copies. You can make a copy of your database, kept in Azure, and use that to retrieve data in the event of an accidental deletion or schema bugaboo:

It's still up to you to get that database off Azure and onto your own local SQL Server, though, but at least you've got a mechanism for making a point-in-time copy.
Microsoft takes care of the backups for you. There is no reason to back up SQL Azure databases yourself.
是的,我们遇到了同样的问题,找不到任何好的/简单的解决方案,所以我们使用Red Gate拼凑了一个解决方案: http : //mooneyblog.mmdbsolutions.com/index.php/2011/01/11/simple-数据库的备份与- SQL的蔚蓝
SQL Azure will support PIT (Point in time) backup/restore (mainly restore) later this year (2011), CTP in summer. There is some (little) preliminary info here info here .
