Frequently Asked Questions
What is compute backup for Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra?
Compute backup refers to the process of regularly saving the configuration and state of the underlying virtual machines or compute resources that host your Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra. This is distinct from data backups, though both are crucial for full recovery.
How often are backups performed?
Backup frequency is typically configurable based on your operational needs and compliance requirements. Specific scheduling options will be detailed during the service setup or in the associated documentation.
Can I restore my instance to any point in time?
The service generally supports point-in-time restore capabilities, allowing you to select a specific backup to restore from. The exact retention period and granularity of restore points depend on the service configuration and Azure's capabilities.
