You need to design a backup solution for Azure SQL Database that will store backups that can be restored for up to 5 years. What solution will you recommend?
Experience Level: Senior
Tags: Azure CloudAzure SQL Database
Answer
Use Azure SQL long-term backup retention policy (LTR) to automatically retain backups in separate Azure Blob storage containers for up to 10 years.
You can then recover a database using these backups using the Azure portal or PowerShell. Long-term retention policies are also supported for Azure SQL Managed Instance.
