Hi @kitty-yip 

 

Is this Service-managed TDE or customer-managed TDE? Service-managed TDE is not supported. This is a restriction from Microsoft. Only customer-managed TDE is supported and the customer needs to make sure the encryption key is available for restores later.

 

Copy-only backups - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn

 

In Azure SQL Managed Instance, copy-only backups can't be created for a database encrypted with service-managed Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). Service-managed TDE uses internal key for encryption of data, and that key can't be exported, so you couldn't restore the backup anywhere else. Consider using customer-managed TDE instead to be able to create copy-only backups of encrypted databases, but make sure to have encryption key available for later restore.

 

If it is Azure SQL, it’s transparent to us from backup perspective. Though the Database is TDE encrypted, the exported BACPAC files are not encrypted.

 

When you export a TDE-protected database, the exported content of the database isn't encrypted. This exported content is stored in unencrypted BACPAC files. Be sure to protect the BACPAC files appropriately and enable TDE after import of the new database is finished.

 

Thanks,
