Copy of my organization's database

(0) ShareShare

Hi All,

Is there a way to get a copy of my environment's database?

Say, I have an environment A which is a sandbox in my PPAC. I want the database of that environment. Is it possible?

Or should I settle for exporting data sets to Excel?

Thanks!

-LD.

    If you have access to the SQL SSMS, you can take a .bak or bacpac backup. Unfortunately microsoft blocked access to the RDP to all major cloud D365FO deployments.

    Hi, not sure what your overall requirement is, but:

    1. Some ETLs can replicate the DB for you if you have a location to house it. Tibco Scribe comes to mind.

    2. You can also consider Azure, the Data Factory has copy ability.

    3. Like you said - export to excel, but that's a pain.

    4. There is a tool in the XRM Toolbox called 'SQL for CDS', you can query in this to see your data.
