  <pre><code>RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 
  FROM URL = 'https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/privatecontainertest/AdventureWorks2012.bak' 
  WITH CREDENTIAL = 'mycredential';
  , STATS = 5 – use this to see monitor the progress
  GO
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this programmatically using an azure API?</p>
