How to migrate SQL Server databases from AWS to Windows Azure

Source: Migrating SQL Server database from AWS to Azure

The steps you need to take:

1. Take full backup on AWS
2. restore full backup without recovery on Azure
3. take log backup on AWS
4. restore log backup without recovery on Azure
5. repeat 3 and 4 until the time it takes is short enough (you probably want to script this out)
6. take app offline
7. take another log backup on AWS
8. restore that log backup WITH recovery on Azure
9. repoint App to Azure
10. bring App online again.

3, 4 and 5 is what log-shipping could automate.
