Import from .backpack into existing database?

I have ms sql server .backpack file from my cloud provider1 and can successfully import it to my local server to new db via databases -> Import Data-tier Application. OK, file is correct.
When i try to import this file to another remote sql server (my cloud provider2) to existing database i've got an error:
The database 'abc1234567' already exists on the target instance of SQL
Server. Specify a database name that does not already exist.
Both my providers have special webpanel to create database, so i can't specify non-existing database. :(
Neither SSMS, not SqlPackage.exe Import allow me to use existing database. :(
Is there any way to import this backpack to existing database? (Maybe, 3rd party tools?)
Configuration:
Provider1 has Server 2008 R2 RTM (db compability level = 100)
Provider2 has Microsoft SQL Server 2016
My local SSMS is from MS SQL 2017
The only way i see is restore to local db, allow xp_cmdshell then use bcp.exe in out

Is it possible to create a .bak file via SQL Server Management Studio on Azure cloud hosting?

I need to create a .bak backup file of my SQL Server database on Azure hosting, because that's the only method which my new hosting supports for restoring a database.
Is this even possible to do? In SQL Server Management Studio, there is no "Backup" option under "Tasks" when I right-click on my database. The SQL Server edition is Standard, not Express.
You can't create .bak files in Azure DB. You will need to perform below steps at a high level to get a .BAK file
Create a .bacpac file for database in Azure
Import that .bacpac file to Local SQL Server and restore it
Now you can create a .Bak file on local SQL Server

SQL Server - Fails to import Data-Tier Application from SQL Azure

I'm attempting to import a database to my local SQL Server 2012 instance from SQL Azure using the "Import Data-Tier Application" wizard.
I simply exported the database to blob storage, then downloaded the file and then selected to import the database.
This fails each time with the error message below:
The error is occurring because it seems to want to create a DEFAULT constraint twice. Has anyone else had this issue?
I got the same error and solved it by installing the preview version of SQL 2016 SQL Management Studio.

importing a sql ddl file into Microsoft SQL server

how to import a SQL ddl file into ms sql server 2005?
A SQL ddl file is just a bunch of queries, right? Just execute them with any SQL client or the management studio. I prefer Query Express
You can use SQL Server Managment Studio, or use the SqlCmd line.
