We have a database on our premise. We also have SQL Azure subscription. Is there a way that we can replicate or keep a copy of premise database in Azure, and keep it synchronized as a way of disaster recovering.
What are the options? And how to implement it?
Thanks,

You can use replication. Microsoft has great documentation on how to set it up. That's about your only option for going Azure SQL Database from an on-premises database. You can't use log shipping. You can only set up Availability Groups to a VM.

You can't really. You have to export the structures and data.
There is a mechanism using the dacpac available, but it's not transactionally aware, meaning you can get bad data. To use it properly you need to create a copy of your database in Azure (there's a command for that) and then export the copy to a dacpac file, then you can import that dacpac.
Otherwise, you can also look to 3rd party tools like Redgate SQL Compare & Data Compare to get the job done.
