We have several improvements around encryption, including data at rest and during use. Today I don’t have a timeframe that I can share.

For information about what’s coming from SQL Azure, go to about 38:00 in this presentation from TechEd. http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2011/DBI313

Support phone line rings: Hello…… I see, one of your users has run the year end routine by mistake and you want to restore your database from last night's backup? Ok, well, your database is SQL Azure and it is totally resilient to any kind of disaster and has a guaranteed uptime of over 99.9% and is totally scalable. It is ‘awesome’ but you can’t restore from last night’s backup so better tell your accountant that you have just started a new financial year……. No, sorry Microsoft has not implemented that feature……. Yes, I understand but it was not on their priority list……Well, you can ask your users to be more careful in their new financial year.
This is Not a conversation I want to be having with my users!
