Microsoft SQL Server(DBaaS) Recovery

If a backup file needs to be restored due to a failure or data loss, the recovery feature allows restoration based on a specific point in time. When you perform a Microsoft SQL Server(DBaaS) recovery, a new server is created with the OS image from the initial provisioning point, the database is installed with the version from the backup point, and the recovery proceeds using the database’s configuration information and data.
