We found that all our overnight database copy operations were sitting in a COPYING state still this morning.  We checked other azure subscriptions that do overnight database copies and they too are still sitting in a COPYING state.

We checked each database copy and found that they were empty databases (i.e. the user tables don't even exist yet).

The Portal status doesn't show any SQL Azure problems currently and the history tab doesn't show anything having occurred last night.

Anyone else have issues with database copies exhibiting the same behavior overnight?

EDIT: database copy operations fired off at 3

Hi Dave,

Can you please send me (sashan at microsoft.com) the name of the servers and databases in copy. I will followup to answer your question 

Thank you

This forum post can be closed. Sasha et al worked some magic on the backend. Don't know the details but it did the trick.
