Redgate Sql Azure Backup Doesn't See Database

Question

When I am configuring Redgate's Sql Azure Backup tool to restore a database, it doesn't let me choose anything from my local Sql Express instance. Any idea why?

Answer 1

I've not done any testing on sqlexpress databases which may well be your issue. I've had to deprecate the product in favour of a hosted solution at http://cloudservices.red-gate.com. Perhaps you can try SQL Compare and SQL Data compare as SQL Azure Backup was based on the engines of those tools.

I wrote SQL Azure Backup so any questions just drop me a line.
