Restore Azure Cosmos DB
Recently, I accidentally deleted an azure cosmos db database, how can be restored? It is possible to recover if it was more than 7 days ago?
Hi aurora95
If continuous backup was enabled before the database was deleted, you may be able to restore it to a previous point in time. However, Azure Cosmos DB has retention limits based on your backup policy, so if the deletion occurred more than 7 days ago, recovery may no longer be possible unless you have another backup or export available.
Has anyone successfully restored a Cosmos DB database after this timeframe, or are there any alternative recovery options that Microsoft recommends in such cases?
