使用msdeploy.exe

注意:msdeploy.exe不能自己创建目标数据库，因此需要先手动创建它。

复制数据库属性页上的连接字符串。调整它，使其包含正确的密码。 获取目标DB的连接字符串。 像这样运行msdeploy.exe: "c:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -dest:dbDacFx="destination_DB_connection_string"，dropDestinationDatabase=true -source:dbDacFx="azure_DB_connection_string"，includeData=true -verbose

使用SqlPackage.exe

导出azure DB到一个bacpac包。 "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /a:Export /ssn:"azure_db_server" /sdn:"azure_db_name" /su:"user_name" /sp:"password" /tf:"file.bacpac" 导入包到本地DB。 “c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe”/a:Import /SourceFile:"bacpac“/ TargetServerName:”。/ TargetDatabaseName: CopyOfAzureDb \ SQLEXPRESS”

您也可以在Windows Azure管理门户中检查SQL Azure数据同步。它允许您检索和恢复整个数据库，包括SQL Azure和SQL Server之间的模式和数据。

我无法让SSIS导入/导出工作，因为我得到了错误“插入只读列“id”失败”。我也不能让http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/工作，上面的链接到SQL Azure数据同步不适合我。

但我发现了一篇关于BACPAC文件的优秀博客文章:http://dacguy.wordpress.com/2012/01/24/sql-azure-importexport-service-has-hit-production/

在这篇博文的视频中，作者介绍了六个步骤:

Make or go to a storage account in the Azure Management Portal. You'll need the Blob URL and the Primary access key of the storage account. The blog post advises making a new container for the bacpac file and suggests using the Azure Storage Explorer for that. (N.B. you'll need the Blob URL and the Primary access key of the storage account to add it to the Azure Storage Explorer.) In the Azure Management Portal select the database you want to export and click 'Export' in the Import and Export section of the ribbon. The resulting dialogue requires your username and password for the database, the blob URL, and the access key. Don't forget to include the container in the blob URL and to include a filename (e.g. https://testazurestorage.blob.core.windows.net/dbbackups/mytable.bacpac). After you click Finish the database will be exported to the BACPAC file. This can take a while. You may see a zero byte file show up immediately if you check in the Azure Storage Explorer. This is the Import / Export Service checking that it has write access to the blob-store. Once that is done you can use the Azure Storage Explorer to download the BACPAC file and then in the SQL Server Management Studio right-click your local server's database folder and choose Import Data Tier Application that will start the wizard which reads in the BACPAC file to produce the copy of your Azure database. The wizard can also connect directly to the blob-store to obtain the BACPAC file if you would rather not copy it locally first.

最后一步可能只能在SQL Server Management Studio的SQL Server 2012版(我正在运行的版本)中使用。这台机器上没有更早的。在博客文章中，作者使用命令行工具DacImportExportCli.exe进行导入，我相信可以在http://sqldacexamples.codeplex.com/releases上找到

下载Optillect SQL Azure备份-它有15天的试用期，所以它足以移动你的数据库:)

公认的答案已经过时了。我找到了一个更好的答案:使用导入数据层应用程序

更多详细信息请参阅本文: 恢复Azure SQL数据库到本地服务器

关于“我无法让SSIS导入/导出工作，因为我得到了错误“插入只读列“id”失败”。 这可以通过在映射屏幕中指定允许插入Identity元素来解决。

在此之后，使用SQL导入/导出向导从Azure复制到本地数据库，一切工作正常。

我只有SQL Server 2008 R2附带的SQL导入/导出向导(工作良好)和Visual Studio 2012 Express来创建本地数据库。
