Exporting Databases

You can export the database for LS Central SaaS environments as BACPAC files to an Azure storage container from the Business Central Administration Center.

Considerations before you begin:

  • You can only request a database export for production environments.
    If you want to export data from a sandbox environment, you can use Excel or RapidStart.
  • You can only request a database export, if the customer has a paid Business Central subscription.
  • You must have explicit permission to export databases. For more information, see Users who can export databases.
  • You cannot export your database to an Azure premium storage account. The steps in this article are only supported on Azure standard storage accounts.

For more information see Microsoft's Exporting Databases in the Admin Center.
