Get the latest restorable timestamp for continuous backup accounts

APPLIES TO: NoSQL MongoDB Gremlin Table

This article describes how to get the latest restorable timestamp for accounts with continuous backup mode. It explains how to get the latest restorable time using Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI, and provides the request and response format for the PowerShell and CLI commands.

This feature is supported for Azure Cosmos DB API for NoSQL containers, API for MongoDB , Table API and API for Gremlin graphs.

Important

For multi-region write accounts, the latest restorable timestamp is determinded by a conflict resolution timestamp (crts). This is not returned by the methods listed below. See GitHub sample here to learn how to consume Azure Cosmos DB's Change Feed and return documents with ConflictResolvedTimestamp(crts) in a container.

SQL container

PowerShell

Get-AzCosmosDBSqlContainerBackupInformation -AccountName <System.String> `
  -DatabaseName <System.String> `
  [-DefaultProfile <Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.Abstractions.Core.IAzureContextContainer>] `
  -Location <System.String> `
  -Name <System.String> `
  -ResourceGroupName <System.String> [<CommonParameters>]

Sample request:

Get-AzCosmosDBSqlContainerBackupInformation -ResourceGroupName "rg" `
  -AccountName "sqlpitracc" `
  -DatabaseName "db1" `
  -Name "container1" `
  -Location "eastus"

Sample response (in UTC format):

LatestRestorableTimestamp
-------------------------
10/26/2021 6:24:25 PM

CLI

az cosmosdb sql retrieve-latest-backup-time -g {resourcegroup} \
  -a {accountname} \
  -d {db_name} \
  -c {container_name} \
  -l {location}

Sample request:

az cosmosdb sql retrieve-latest-backup-time -g "rg" \
  -a "sqlpitracc" \
  -d "db1" \
  -c "container1" \
  -l "eastus"

Sample response (in UTC format):

SQL database

Use the following script to get the latest restorable timestamp for a database. This script will iterate through all the containers within the specified database and returns the minimum of latest restorable timestamp of all its containers.
