Backingup Azure WebApp when connection string is injected through keyvault

Question

I am using Azure Keyvault to store my connection string of a database. Using connection string options in configuration of Azure WebApps, I inject the connection string as @Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=https://vaultlink....) without any problems I can access the connection string on the application side.

However, if i try to use WebApps Backup function while connection string is set @Microsoft.KeyVault..., backup fails saying that Database connection string not valid for database secretfnlafter (SQLAzure). Keyword not supported: '@microsoft.keyvault(secreturi'. What is the correct way of backingup azure webapp when using kayvault for connection string

I can reproduce your issue, seems the backup does not support the connection string references the keyvault. — Joy Wang, May 13 '19 at 07:04
@JoyWang, Thanks a lot for your comment. I also came to the conclusion that it simply is not supported — Hasan Emrah Süngü, May 13 '19 at 08:31
