178159-error.pngHey,

I'm trying to export a snapshot i made but getting an error after downloading the VHD file. I generated SAS URL and the download starts, but after a few gigabits has been downloaded I get an error message 'Failed - Forbidden'

tried generating a new link, downloading it from several browsers, i even deleted one backup and created a new one
but it was unsuccessful
i tried to use the chat support but they couldn't help with that matter

any one had that issue before ?

Thanks

    Hi, I have seen these sort of issues before. An alternative solution would be to use Azure Storage Explorer to download the VHD file. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/features/storage-explorer/#overview

    This was the recommended solution in another thread here:
