Hi Kevin!

The command will only create a copy to another SQL Azure instance. And it is the option that I believe would work for 80% of all scenarios.

I can’t comment in the tradeoff on costs, as that is tied to the quantity of data being moved and stored. Also, I can’t really say if you should pipe your data to an on-premise instance, because that is the type of HA/DR discussion that need to happen for each shop.

Personally, my OCD kicks in and I want to keep everything as close to me as possible, just in case. 

HTH

Just a question to clarify, are you saying we should copy the SQLAzure database to another SQLAzure instance?  Or are you saying we should do if from SQLAzure to an on-premises SQL Server?

Do you have any idea what the trade-off in costs are between the different techniques you posed?

Many thanks,

-Kev
