        {
            BlobCredentials = new DacExportParameters.BlobCredentialsParameter()
            {
                StorageAccessKey = storageKey,
                Uri = new Uri(baseStorageUri)
            },
            ConnectionInfo = new DacExportParameters.ConnectionInfoParameter()
            {
                ServerName = azureSqlServer,
                DatabaseName = azureSqlDatabase,
                UserName = adminLogin,
                Password = adminPassword
            }
        };
        var exportResult = managementClient.Dac.Export(azureSqlServerName, exportParams);
