Azure ARM Template to export database to .bacpac file

Question

I wanted to know whether it is possible to write an ARM Template which exports a Azure SQL Database and stores the .bacpac file to any storage account?

I found the following link from Microsoft Documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-export

But, in the above link there is no mention of doing it through ARM Template. The end goal is to use this ARM template in a release pipeline and Database export and import should be done through the release pipeline.

Answer 1

I'm fairly certain this is not meant to be done with arm templates, because its a POST request, not a PUT request. So you'd need to use Azure PowerShell\CLI to do that.
