Just keep in min , SQLServer "uniquifies" every clustered index key !

Clustered Index Uniquifier Existence and Size

oh by the way, if you know [MULE_BATCH_ID] should be unique in that table, create a unique constraint or index.

how about:

Declare @StartYear datetime = '1900-04-01' ;
Declare @StartYearNov datetime = '1900-10-01' ;

check msdb dbo.sysjobs dbo.sysjobsteps dbo.sysjobschedules dbo.sysschedules

1. Why would you put this in a job ?
2. Why don't you just run the Alter in a TSQL jobstep ?

You could try to download the bak file locally ( with e.g. Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer ) and then perform the restore.

• Can you show the result of

  Restore HeaderOnly from url= ... ?

  ?

• Keep in mind you cannot restore backup files of azure SQLDB or Azure Managed...
