Migrating on-perm Enterprise Geodatabase SQL Server instance to Azure SQL DB

[GaneshmoorthiMylsamy]

Hello All,

Does esri has any enterprise geodatabase migration related documents. We are planning to migrate our on-perm Enterprise Geodatabase SQL Server instance to Azure SQL DB. We are currently using ArcGIS 10.6.1 and we plan to move cloud with 10.8. I got the following option. 

1. Full database backup and restore: 
2. Create new geodatabase in Azure SQL and use copy tool to migrate the data from old DB.

Please let me know if there is any better approach.

Regards,

G
