Azure Export SQL database example

Question

Given Microsoft is deprecating the previous method of exporting a SQL DB they have put up a suggested example here:

$subscriptionId = \"YOUR AZURE SUBSCRIPT         


        

Answer 1

The PowerShell script example in your question above is tested working as expected for me.

However, I am not able to reproduce the same error message as yours even try to use non-existent resource group, database server or database.

Important Note:

1. For $serverAdmin and $serverPassword, their values should be single-quoted instead of double-quoted for the script to work
2. Check the version of your AzureRm.Sql module. Mine tested working is 2.5.0
3. Try to use -Debug for your New-AzureRmSqlDatabaseExport command line to see the details
