I am using FortiClient VPN for accessing SQL DB. When trying to back up an Azure SQL Database using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) the backup option is not showing. So, I have used Export Data-tier Application option in the Tasks menu. Now getting errors like this. Can anyone suggest how to bypass VPN for getting backup successfully. Note: I am giving path of my local file. Below is the error I am getting. Screenshot 2024-11-26 130514.png

    You can not access from Azure SQL Database local resources and this has nothing to do with VPN.

    Backup the database to Azure BLOB storage, see
