We planned for log shipping to azure from on-premise to Azure, but due to difficulty in implementing the VPN connection we are thinking for another alternative 'Microsoft sql server backup to windows azure tool '
I have installed the tool in my local pc and checked 'verify account' in step 2 it worked fine, but when i installed in my test server and check 'verify account' it stops functioning and the verify account button is disabled, I ignored and continued to take backup but it threw the below error
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Cannot open backup device 'E:\DBtoAzure_Test\test_full.bak'. Operating system error 31(A device attached to the system is not functioning.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I checked for the permission in that folder DBtoAzure_Test, 'BackuptoAzure' has read/write in that folder, so this is not permission level issue.
I suspect that port number need to be opened to connect to Azure, as from my test server I could not connect to google or Azure.management, Can someone let me know what port number need to opened in our network to connect to Azure storage?
