CosmosDB Point in Time Restore issue

Question

Hi all,

I am trying Cosmos DB backup continuous mode. Despite what I understand from the doc in reality I see that is not possible to restore (deleted) records within a container in the same account.

As a test I have deleted few records and I am selecting the time range from when I've created the account till few mins before I have deleted the records, but I see no option to restore. So what I am missing?

Answer 1

Azure Cosmos DB's continuous backup feature doesn't offer direct point-in-time restores of individual records. It allows you to restore a deleted database or container to a specific point in time within the retention period (30 days or 7 days, depending on the tier). This means you can restore the entire container or database as it existed at that time, and then retrieve the specific record you need.
