Hi Team,

Regarding the backup policy on Azure CosmosDB for Postgresql, as it is mentioned in the documentation, how many days of backup is supported beyond 35 days with support request.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/postgresql/concepts-backup

It is mentioned that we may need to raise support request to restore DB beyond 35 days, but how many days of backup is retained by the support and till what point the support request can help to restore the data.

Kindly assist with the maximum days the data is backed up and if the backup and retention can be customised as per customer needs'?

Thanks,

Vipal

    Hi Vipal Mehta,

    Thanks for your patience.

    We have got the below response from the internal team:

    We do not offer any backups beyond 35 days.

    Message highlighted in the link tries to clarify by asking for support request for any point in time (current_time - 35 days).

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have further queries.

    Thanks
