Azure Data Studio - Why Is Restore Option Missing Entirely?


I am doing a simply .bak restore using Azure Data Studio.

Following the instructions available here.

However, on my Mac, I dont get that option at all.

Solution

  • Azure SQL database doesn't support backup from .bak files. Please use .bacpac files instead.

    Update:

    As for now, you decided to use management studio on windows to solve the issue.

    We can't any document talked about the Data Studio UI difference between Mac and Windows. Turn to use SSMS on windows may be another solution.

    HTH.
