How to Export Business Central Databases in the Admin Center: Complete BACPAC Guide
The Business Central administration center enables authorized administrators to export production environment databases as BACPAC files to Azure storage, with a limit of 10 exports monthly per environment. This feature requires a paid subscription, the D365 BACKUP/RESTORE permission set, and a Standard general-purpose v2 Azure storage account (not Premium) with a properly configured Shared Access Signature that includes specific permissions and minimum 24-hour validity. The export process, which can take minutes to hours depending on database size, involves setting up Azure storage, generating the SAS with the correct permissions, and initiating the export through the administration center, after which the exported files can be imported to Azure SQL Database or SQL Server for further processing.
