How to backup multiple database to Azure blob storage using native SQL Server Backup to URL option. I have used the Ola Backup scripts with success but will like another option. EXECUTE [dbo].[DatabaseBackup] @Databases = 'USER_DATABASES', @BackupType = 'FULL', @Compress='Y', @copyonly ='Y', @Url='https://development.blob.core.windows.net/backups', @BlockSize=65536, @MaxTransferSize=4194304 --script to modify for multiple database DECLARE @name VARCHAR(100) -- database name Declare @url as Varchar(max) -- path for backup files DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup ;) DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name -- specify database backup directory e.g. 'https://development.blob.core.windows.net/backups' SET @url = 'https://development.blob.core.windows.net/backups' -- specify filename format SELECT @fileDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),112) + '_' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),108),':','') DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR READ_ONLY FOR SELECT name FROM master.sys.databases WHERE name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb') -- exclude these databases AND state = 0 -- database is online AND is_in_standby = 0 -- database is not read only for log shipping OPEN db_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN SET @fileName = @name + '_' + @fileDate + '.BAK' BACKUP DATABASE @name TO URL = @URL FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name END CLOSE db_cursor DEALLOCATE db_cursor -- Any suggestions that does not include having to execute the backup command for each database will be helpful
