Hi, thank you for your support forum post.
SQL Backup does not backup or restore directly to/from Azure Storage.
The Cloud Storage Feature of SQL Backup simply allows an user to upload a copy of a backup file on successful completion of its creation to either Azure Storage or AWS S3 storage.
If the need arises for an user to download from the Azure storage, this is a manual process where the user downs the backup file to a local disk. SQL Backup can then be used to perfrom the restore.
Providing you configure the following options for your azure Government cloud and obtain a successful network connection:
- Azure Storage Account Name
- Azure Access Key
- Blob Container Name
- If selecting Custom Azure Storage - Custom Endpoint
SQL Backup will upload the backup file or files created.
If there are additional options that need to be included to upload to azure Government cloud, then the answer will be no, as you will not be able to configure these options within SQL Backup.How to configure the Cloud Storage feature of SQL Backup is available in the following help documentation:

Thanks for clarifying your position, and that you don't actually know. I doubt that Azure Gov will work since it is a completely different data center with URL's that do not end with .COM.

It appears that SQL Backup to Azure Containers is supported, but are Azure Containers in Azure Government supported? If so, is there any documentation to guide setting this up and how a restore would be handled?
(using SQL Backup 10.1.34)
Thanks
