Restore .bak files daily

Hi all,

I have the following scenario: we are going to receive in the Azure Data Lake an initial .bak file containing 4 months of data from a third party. After that, that third party will upload daily a .bak file containing only one day's data. Our requirement is to append that daily data to the initial load and bring that to a SQL pool in Synapse. What is the best course of action to achieve that?

Thank you

    Hello @Pedro Antunes (TKB) ,
    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
    As we understand the ask here is how to restore the full backup and incremental backup , please do let us know if its not accurate.
    Just taking a step back , the intial backup file ( which contains 4 month of data ) , is the backup for Azure SQL or Synapse dedicate d sql . The reason I am asking this is becasue when i check the backup and restore option for Synapse ( link ), i dont see anyway by which you can grab the backup file . I am sure I am missing out something here , please let us know more on this .

    One of the quick solution is , you can use a Synapse / ADF pipeline . My using this you can copy records from the source to sink table and this will be more real time .

    Please do let me if you have any queries.
    Thanks
