This topic describes how to disable or pause SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure at both the database and instance levels.

Disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure for a database

You can disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure settings by using the system stored procedure, managed_backup.sp_backup_config_basic (Transact-SQL). The @enable_backup parameter is used to enable and disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure configurations for a specific database, where 1 enables and 0 disables the configuration settings.

To Disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure for a specific database:

Connect to the Database Engine.
From the Standard bar, click New Query.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute.

EXEC msdb.managed_backup.sp_backup_config_basic  
                @database_name = 'TestDB'   
                ,@enable_backup = 0;  
GO

Note

You might also need to set the @container_url parameter depending on your configuration.

Disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure for all the databases on the Instance

The following procedure is for when you want to disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure configuration settings from all the databases that currently have SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure enabled on the instance. The configuration settings like the storage URL, retention, and the SQL Credential will remain in the metadata and can be used if SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure is enabled for the database at a later time. If you want to just pause SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure services temporarily, you can use the master switch explained in the later sections of this topic.

To disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure for all the databases:

Connect to the Database Engine.
From the Standard bar, click New Query.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute. The following example identifies if SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure is configured at the instance level and all the SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure enabled databases on the instance, and executes the system stored procedure sp_backup_config_basic to disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure.

-- Create a working table to store the database names  
Declare @DBNames TABLE  
  
       (  
             RowID int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY  
             ,DBName varchar(500)  
  
       )  
-- Define the variables  
DECLARE @rowid int  
DECLARE @dbname varchar(500)  
DECLARE @SQL varchar(2000)  
-- Get the database names from the system function  
  
INSERT INTO @DBNames (DBName)  
  
SELECT db_name  
       FROM   
  
       msdb.managed_backup.fn_backup_db_config (NULL)  
       WHERE is_managed_backup_enabled = 1 
       AND is_dropped = 0
  
       --Select DBName from @DBNames  
  
       select @rowid = min(RowID)  
       FROM @DBNames  
  
       WHILE @rowID IS NOT NULL  
       Begin  
  
             Set @dbname = (Select DBName From @DBNames Where RowID = @rowid)  
             Begin  
             Set @SQL = 'EXEC msdb.managed_backup.sp_backup_config_basic    
                @database_name= '''+'' + @dbname+ ''+''',   
                @enable_backup=0'  
  
            EXECUTE (@SQL)  
  
             END  
             Select @rowid = min(RowID)  
             From @DBNames Where RowID > @rowid  
  
       END

To review the configuration settings for all the databases on the instance, use the following query:

Use msdb;  
GO  
SELECT * FROM managed_backup.fn_backup_db_config (NULL);  
GO

Disable Default SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure settings for the Instance

Default settings at the instance level apply to all new databases created on that instance. If you no longer need or require default settings, you can disable this configuration by using the managed_backup.sp_backup_config_basic system stored procedure with the @database_name parameter set to NULL. Disabling does not remove the other configuration settings like the storage URL, retention setting, or the SQL Credential name. These settings will be used if SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure is enabled for the instance at a later time.

To disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure default configuration settings:

Connect to the Database Engine.
From the Standard bar, click New Query.

Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute.

EXEC msdb.managed_backup.sp_backup_config_basic  
                @enable_backup = 0;  
GO

Pause SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure at the Instance Level

There might be times when you need to temporarily pause the SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure services for a short period time. The managed_backup.sp_backup_master_switch system stored procedure allows you to disable SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure service at the instance level. The same stored procedure is used to resume SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure. The @state parameter is used to define whether SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure should be turned off or on.

To Pause SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure Services Using Transact-SQL:

Connect to the Database Engine.
From the Standard bar, click New Query.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and then click Execute

Use msdb;  
GO  
EXEC managed_backup.sp_backup_master_switch @new_state=0;  
Go

To resume SQL Server managed backup to Microsoft Azure Using Transact-SQL

Connect to the Database Engine.
From the Standard bar, click New Query.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and then click Execute.

Use msdb;  
Go  
EXEC managed_backup.sp_backup_master_switch @new_state=1;  
GO
