Hi fellow spiceheads,
I am looking into other options for our off-site backups of our MS SQL (2014) data and I came across this Azure blog post https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/storage-use-storage-sql-server-backup-resto...about using Azure Blob Storage. I had already seenthe SQL Server Managed Backup to Azure and thought it wouldn't be suitable for us as we have a large Archive Set which is rarely modified (6TB approx) plus our live data but after finding SQL Server Backup to URL I'm now thinking this will suit our needs as we can just modify parts of our existing backup regime to go to Azure.
Our current bandwidth is not suitable so before that is improved I had hoped to get your experience of using this?
Is the upload/backup at the full speed of your connection or can it be limited by Azure?
Is it possible...
