Powershell Script To Backup Windows Azure Mobile Services Scripts

- 25 Feb 2014

Listing for a PowerShell Script to backup Windows Azure Mobile Services scripts and configuration information.  I will get something more complete up on the Script Repository this next month!  This also assumes you have set your subscription active using Windows Azure PowerShell.  See How to install and configure Windows Azure PowerShell for more information.
