We're looking to run SQL Server on Azure VMs and use Recovery Services Vault to back up the databases.
Is there any way to make the backup (.bak) files available outside of the vault - e.g. to Azure Blob storage, so that we can easily access them should we need to do (e.g. an adhoc restore locally or something)
Right now it looks from the portal that they can only be restored back to the same machine, or another SQL VM registered. There is an option to Restore As Files, but again only to a registered SQL VM. There's no option to have them put onto another machines disk, or copied into blob storage.
