How to get BAK files from SQL 2008 R2 to Azure
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I know from SQL 2012 you can backup directly to Azure, but I have a SQL 2008 R2 instance where I'm needing to get the backups up to Azure for off-site backup reasons.
Anyone have some good options for what could be considered here?

You can write a PowerShell script, which will backup your database using Backup-SqlDatabase cmdlet, and then copy the BAK file to Azure Blob Storage using Set-AzureStorageBlobContent cmdlet. Of course, you can also use your existing backup solution, but it may be more difficult to plug the call to Set-AzureStorageBlobContent in it. If you use SQL Server Agent, you can add a step with PowerShell or call to external executable to upload the recently made backup.
# Upload file from local disk to Azure Blob Storage
Set-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container "SQLServerBackups" -File "E:BackupsMyDatabase-2018-01-01.bak" -Blob "MyDatabase-2018-01-01"
