Hi @TheoEkelmans - you are using the older Backup to URL version that backs up to page blobs and does not allow more than one backup file. In recent versions of SQL Server, you should back up to block blobs. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/datacat/sql-server-backup-to-url-a-cheat-sheet/ba...

Hey @Dimitri_Furman , the post starts saying BACKUP URL was added in SQL 2014, but on table, your mention "SQL 2012". Doing some tests, I confirmed that correct is 2012, as your table shows. I guess that start of the post was incorrectly typed.

in SQLSweet16!, Episode 3: Parallel INSERT … SELECT on 06-12-2020
Can we do this on the secondary replica where we are inserting data into a temporary table as part of a transaction? Our processes takes a lot of time to dump the data into temporary table as it is selected from complex joins done on the tables in the AG database on the secondary replica.
