AzCopy – Uploading/Downloading files for Windows Azure Blobs
Note:
IF using this to copy Microsoft SQL Server backup files that will be restored from URL, it will thrown the below error:
"The specified URL points to a Block Blob. Backup and Restore operations on Block Blobs are not permitted."
To workaround that issue, make sure AzCopy has /BlobType:page
or
Use SQL Server Backup to Url which creates BlobType = Page.
