SQL Azure Data Sync - An Overview
About the Video:
This is second in the series of webcasts covering the SQL Azure Data Sync service. In this demo heavy webcast, Sudhesh covers the details of synchronizing date across on-premise and cloud (E2C scenario for SQL Azure Data Sync). See how SQL Azure Data Sync can be used to share data between on-premises SQL Server and SQL Azure applications and let us know your thoughts, comments and questions.
Relevant resources on SQL Azure Data Sync:
SQL Azure Data Sync is a great tool; even though it's only at a CTP stage, the experience is already quite polished and it's a pleasure to use. I've used it to export a database (schema and all) from an Azure subscription to my local machine; I needed to take my services offline for a longer period of time and had to create a full backup. (Perhaps this wasn't the ideal way to do that. But it was fun!
)
On that note, it would be nice if Windows/SQL Azure subscriptions would support "deactivating" a service or database, respectively. I would like to be able to store these things (perhaps in my Azure storage account) with the ability to bring them back online at a later date. (Added to the linked UserVoice site: Allow taking a database offline to prevent charges to my account. (http://uservoice.com/a/jFr6r))
