How to disable azure cosmos db continious backup


I enabled the Azure cosmos DB continuous backup for one of my Cosmos DBs.
How can I disable it? It just says you have successfully enrolled in continuous backup.

Solution

  • I am not sure if you have seen this message in the portal when you created the account/also mentioned in the doc

    "You will not be able to switch between the backup policies after the account has been created"

    since you need to select either "Periodic" or "Continuous" at the creation of Cosmos Account, it becomes mandatory.

    Update:

    You will not see the above in portal anymore, you can Switch from "Periodic" to "Continous" on an existing account and that cannot be reverted. You can read more here.
