Clarify that the backups for Hyperscale are only for 7 days #80863

Closed blueelvis closed 3 years ago

blueelvis commented 3 years ago

In the section where the Backups are described about the various tiers -

  1. It doesn't make any sense as to have that text for Hyperscale as it doesn't convey any information in terms of actual backup retention like has been done for the other tiers.
  2. It should be clarified that the max backups which are available as of now for Hyperscale is only 7 days and there is no option to do Long Term Backup Retention, configure Backup policies or anything of that nature as this is quite a big drawback as compared to the other tiers.

Thanks @blueelvis for taking the time to create this issue. We have documentation indicating the current 7 day capability of hyperscale backups here, but I see we don't specify that here. Will confirm with the product team and resolve in an upcoming documentation update. We'll contact you if we need further information, and you'll receive an email message each time we "@mention" you in a comment. Thanks again for this feedback, your suggestions help improve our documentation.

@WilliamDAssafMSFT - Thanks a lot William for taking care of this! Any idea when would Long term backup retention capabilities be available for the Hyperscale tier?

WilliamDAssafMSFT commented 3 years ago

Thanks @blueelvis again for bringing this to attention. A doc update is in flight to address. Publicly we can say that long-term retention for hyperscale is on our near term roadmap.

Thanks again for this feedback, your suggestions help improve our documentation.
