Because of a problem exporting v12 Azure SQL databases I had to copy my existing database, drop the old one copy the copy again to get the old database name again.
And now the new problem begins: Azure tries to create a backup for the old and non-existing database and sends me hundrets of error emails. As far as I can see there is no way to cancel the errant export through Azure web interface or power shell.
The error message sent by mail is:
Automated SQL Export failed for <server>:<database> at 13.03.2015 17:44:10. The temporary database copy was made, but this copy could not be exported to the .bacpac file.
There was a issue like that before but regarding to this Post it should be fixed.
I also created a posting regarding this issue here.
I'm pretty sure that the reason is that I've deleted the database (and created a new one with the same name just a couple of minutes later) and the regarding backup job was not deleted.
But I have no Idea how to fix this.

Martin
