Point in Time Restore Backup Retention

Ensures that Microsoft Azure SQL databases have a sufficient Point in Time Restore (PITR) backup retention period configured

Point-in-time restore is a self-service capability, which enables you to restore a database from backups to any point within the retention period. Point-in-time restore is useful in recovery scenarios, such as incidents caused by errors, incorrectly loaded data, or deletion of crucial data.

Ensure that an optimal backup retention period is set for Azure SQL databases.
