## Backing Up Azure SQL Databases with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)

Azure SQL databases using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with either service-managed or customer-managed keys are supported.

For databases with customer-managed keys at the database level, ensure the cloud account used for authentication has the required permissions before performing backups.

For more information, see Backing Up Azure SQL Databases with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE).
