Simple back up of a SQL Azure database

Mike Mooney posted an excellent article and approach on how to do a simple back up of a SQL Azure database over on the Redgate affiliated simple-talk web site:
http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/simple-database-backups-with-sql-azure/

I’m quite a fan of the red gate tool set, especially their SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare products. We’re currently building a solution on Windows Azure with a SQL Azure database and redgate’s tools have provided the smoothest database deployment to date. Well worth a look if you’re over trying to do deploy to SQL Azure with the db tools in Visual Studio.
