Backup and Restore in Azure
Microsoft's CTP Import/Export Service allows you to create a BACPAC backup in Azure Blob Storage of your SQL Azure Database. This service is free to use so you don't pay for the data transfer costs. Once the backup is complete, you can download or restore it from Blob storage.
Copy to SQL Server
SQL Azure Backup copies the schema and data from a SQL Azure database to a local instance of SQL Server. You can use a local copy to backup your data and develop against the latest content. SQL Azure Backup is powered by SQL Compare - the industry standard comparison and deployment tool.
