attachments in Dev environment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 25
Hi everyone,
 
I restored the database in the dev environment using a BACPAC file, but I’m unable to view or open any previously uploaded attachments in the dev. can someone please advise whether attachments are included in a BACPAC export, and if not, what is the recommended way to make them available in the dev environment?
 
 
Thanks in advance

    Attachments are not normally stored in database, therefore a DB backup doesn't include them. They're stored in Azure blob storage by default, or they can go to SharePoint.
     
    For attachments of some tables, there are data entities that you can use for export and import. I've also noticed for downloading attachments from the source environment when needed.

    Thank you for your answer, unfortunately the method mentioned in the article won't work as I need all the attachments to be added in the dev, is there a way I can get all the attachment directly from Azure blob storage?
