Create a 3-minute explainer video that showcases a new internal Upload UI and automated restore flow for Azure SQL Managed Instance. Show a user uploading a large .bak file through a UI that generates a SAS token and uploads it in chunks to Azure Blob Storage. After the upload, display a form where the user enters the file name and restore DB name, and an API triggers a stored procedure on SQL to restore the DB. Highlight upcoming enhancements such as background services that automatically trigger restore scripts, real-time logging, and email notifications. Clearly emphasize benefits like faster restore times, reduced dependency on DBAs, improved ticket resolution, secure access control, large file support, and future scope for client self-service upload. Tone: visionary, modern, efficient. Include animated visuals of workflows, dashboards, and team collaboration.”

Visual: Timer or queue detecting upload, T-SQL or PowerShell script auto-trigger, restore status logs.
Sence 6 advantages (40 sec )
Faster Restores (within 20 mins)
Restoration time depends on the .bak file size, but typically completes within 20 minutes—no waiting on multiple teams or time zone delays.
No Server Logins Needed
Authorized users can restore databases without logging into any server or VM, improving security and reducing access complexity.
Self-Service Simplicity
Teams like Support or RFMS can initiate uploads and restores independently, without relying on DBA availability or Azure portal access.
Seamless Upload Experience
Uploading large files (>50 GB) is supported via chunked upload with automatically generated SAS tokens—making the experience efficient and secure.
Error-Free Restores
The UI enforces correct file names and paths, reducing restore failures caused by human error or mismatches.
Reduced Communication Loops
Eliminates back-and-forth between RFMS, Support, and DBA teams—accelerating ticket closure and client delivery.
Access Controlled & Auditable
All actions are performed via authenticated UI access, ensuring secure operations with potential for audit logging.
Built for the Future
Designed with automation and extensibility in mind—ideal for scaling to client-facing usage and full self-service models.
Scene 7: Future Scope (30 sec)
“We’re exploring external access—with authentication—so clients can upload their backups directly. Combined with full automation, the entire restore flow becomes self-service, secure, and scalable.”
Scene 8: Closing (10 sec)
“From days to minutes—our Upload UI and automated restore service modernize a critical workflow for our support, database, and client teams.”

Introducing a revolutionary approach to database restoration. Our new Upload UI and automated restore flow transforms how teams handle Azure SQL Managed Instance database recovery, making it faster, smarter, and more efficient than ever before.
Previously, restoring client databases involved multiple teams, manual uploads, and frequent delays. Support teams had to coordinate with DBAs, who needed server access to handle file uploads, creating bottlenecks and time zone dependencies that slowed down critical restoration processes.
Now, authorized users can upload backup files directly to Azure Blob Storage through a simple internal UI. The system generates SAS tokens automatically and supports chunked upload for large files, eliminating the need for Azure portal access while maintaining security and control.
After upload, the user enters the backup file name and desired restore database name through a simple form. The backend API then triggers a stored procedure on the Azure SQL Managed Instance to initiate the restore process, with automatic success notifications confirming completion.
Our Upload UI and automated restore service transforms database recovery from a days-long process to just 20 minutes. Teams gain self-service capability with secure, controlled access, while large file support and automated chunking ensure seamless operations. Looking ahead, we're building toward full client self-service with complete automation, making database restoration faster, smarter, and more efficient than ever before.
