Hi,

I'd like to back up my old databases in Azure SQL into Azure storage container,

but it always fails with the messeage below.

Failed to export the database: prpgcommunity. ErrorCode: BadRequest ErrorMessage: There was an error that occurred during this operation : '<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">Error encountered during the service operation. ; Exception Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dac.Services.ServiceException:Unable to authenticate request; </string>'

My Azure SQL server also has been updated with the latest version.

What is the problem?

Hi Goodnori

How are you trying to export you r Azure SQL Data to the Table storage?

If you use the manage.windowsazure.com portal to do the export, make sure you enter the SQL Azure username password correctly.

Look at the picture below:
