Hi

When I am trying to take database backup to URL, I am getting an error message.

Error: Backup to URL received an exception from the remote endpoint, unable to connect to the remote server. Msg 3013, level 16.

I have created credentials using Storage account access keys [General purpose V2 Performance tier is Standard].

Kindly help to resolve this issue.

Thanks

If you are performing a backup to URL on an Azure SQL VM please use a classic storage account or v1 storage account. Folllow other instructions here.

In addition, consider COMPRESSION, MAXTRANSFERSIZE, BLOCKSIZE, and multiple URL arguments when backing up large databases as explained here.

If you are using Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014 or 2016 please consider applying SQL Server updates mentioned on KB4017023 support article.
