Backup the database(s) in a container
You can easily create backups of the one (single-tenant) or multiple (multi-tenant) databases in a container. You have to take the following steps to do that:
- Navigate to the container in the COSMO Alpaca view
- Do a right-click on the container
- Select database
- Enter the folder where the backup file(s) should be generated. Note that the folder path must start with c:\azurefileshare\ and that the path will be created if it doesn't exist
- Wait until the backup has finished.
You can then use your usual way to access the file share and work with the backup. You can also use it to create a new container by specifying it as backup file (see Setup Database Backup).
