Hi
One of our clients has started using Azure for their website and would like a monthly BACPAC export from our in house CRM system.
We are using SQL 2008R2, I notice from this MSDN article that we can get a BACPAC out of SQL 2008R2 by installing SQL Server Data Tools. We don't have a full version of Visual Studio so from what I understand the shell will be installed
I am wary of installing anything on my production SQL server and was wondering if it is necessary to install this directly on an SQL Server, or can it be installed on another server/workstation and the process create from there?
Many thanks
