John McCormack shows how you can use AZCopy to move SQL Server backups into Azure Storage:
AZCopy is a useful command line utility for automating the copying of files and folders to Azure Storage Account containers. Specifically, I use AZCopy for SQL Backups but you can use AZCopy for copying most types of files to and from Azure.
In this blog post example (which mirrors a real world requirement I had), the situation is that whilst I need to write my SQL backups over a network share, I also want to push them up to Azure Storage (in a different region) to allow developers quicker downloads/restores. This is why I need to use AZCopy. If I only needed my backups to be written to Azure, I could have used BACKUP TO URL instead.
Read on to see how John did it.
