Can you provide a bit more detail on what the end goal is? SQL Azure keeps automatic backups according to a schedule determined in part by the service level you choose. It is not clear to me what you mean by "... From SQL Server MS..." Where do you see this shortcut menu?

Presumably you have the Azure Database rather than a managed instance. I have the backup option with the managed instance.

As @GPGeorge stated, Azure SQL databases are Automatically backed up as part of the Azure service.
The Restore options are only available in the Azure Web Portal to the best of my knowledge

From there you will given the option to pick what point in time you want to restore from based on the availability from your level of service you are paying for.

Well it's very useful, for creating a local copy.
But I don't see what that achieves above simply restoring or copying the database in the Azure portal,

To use as a restorable backup you would have to then export it back to the Azure instance.
