Continuous backup in Cosmos DB serverless

Hi Kanie-0317,

Greetings!

It sounds like you’re trying to clarify the behavior of the “Restore to a new account” feature in Azure Cosmos DB's serverless mode during regional outages. Here’s what I found:

Azure Cosmos DB continuously backs up your data and these backups are stored in a resilient way across different regions. However, the restore feature works primarily when the region where the original database is located is still operational.

In the event of a regional outage, the “Restore to a new account” option may not be accessible if the primary region is down. This feature is primarily designed for situations like accidental deletions or data corruption, where the original region is still available.

For more information, please refer the document:
