Cosmos DB Long-term Backup Retention

Question

Cosmos DB Long-term Backup Retention

Alan 21

From my understanding, Cosmos DB periodic and continuous backup supports a max of 30 days backup retention. I require a (restorable, if possible) long-term backup retention, for example, 1 year.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Related question: if I am running a change feed processor and when the backup gets restored, will the change feed checkpoint be set to the restored backup's checkpoint?

Thank you.

Hi, @Alan Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thanks for posting your query
You can have your own backup setup if you want a long-term backup . Regarding the change feed, the Change feed will be independent. The restore will go into a new account so it’s independent of the Change feed.

please let me know if you need any additional information.
