Creating your database export failed. You don't have permission to export databases.

(0) ShareShare

Hi

I am trying to Create database export to a bacpac file from Business Central Admin Center, but I get a permission error.

I am global admin in Azure and in Business Central I have both the User Permission Set SUPER and D365 BACKUP/RESTORE - so what else could be missing?

Best regards

    Hello,

    As per the yammer thread:

    The permission error for database exports was hotfixed last week, please open a new or update your existing support request if you are still getting this error. I am not aware of any additional issue that would explain why not bacpac file would appear

    If someone created a support ticket on this, I can verify status and share where we are with this if still required.

    Thank you.

    The database export is now successfully being kicked off again. It creates the container, if it's not there. But no bacpac file appears.

    Has anyone solved this?

    As far as I'm concerned, it was fixed yesterday, I was able to run backups of two different instances.

    I think it is now fixed, we were able to backup with no issue

    Hi.

    Any news on this issue.
    We also have a customer that is not able to create database backups after update 20.2

    We have raised a support ticket for this. It has been passed on to the 2nd level support. Will keep you posted.
