Connect to a Microsoft Azure Subscription (Backup TO URL)

Applies to: SQL Server

Use the Connect to a Microsoft Subscription dialogue box in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to register an existing Azure Blob Storage container with your instance of SQL Server. The dialog box will create a shared access signature and stored access policy on an Azure Blob Storage container and then create a SQL Server Credential.

This dialog box appears when using the Back Up Database or Restore Database task from SQL Server Management Studio and the operation involves a URL device.

Limitation

Connect to a Microsoft Subscription will only work with an Azure Storage Account created through the Service Management (Classic) deployment model. For more information regarding Azure deployment models, see Azure Resource Manager vs. classic deployment.
