Question
How can I schedule backups for my SQL Azure DBs. I suspect I need to schedule:
1) Create Database [DBCopy] as copy of [DBlive] 2) Export [DBCopy] to Azure Storage.
The frequency would likely be once a day.
I cannot find an Azure Scheduler to help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

OTHER TIPS
You don't need to schedule database backups in sql Azure. This is taken care by the service. You have Point in time restore and Geo restore features in Azure.
