Azure上的数据库可以通过手工export来备份，方法我在博客里写过。但是如果要求定期做的话，需要人工参与。偷懒的做法是用Azure自带的定期备份功能。 1. 在Azure Portal点开你的数据库，切换到CONFIGURE页面。 Automated Export的意思就是自动导出数据库（bacpac格式），默认是NONE，也就是不自动备份。选择AUTOMATIC。 2. 选完之后，下面会出来详细设置。 STORAGE ACCOUNT选你要保存备份文件的存储账户。FREQUENCY是频率，这个例子里我选择每28天备份一次，从2015年4月2日12:00A.M.开始。保留90天内的备份（这个选项的意思就是备份文件多久以后会被自动删除） 另外，还需要填写SQL数据库服务器的登录账户和密码。然后保存设置就完成了！ 3. 一旦到了指定时间，触发了备份。你就能在你刚才设置的存储账户里找到一个 …
