For Azure Archive Storage, when a Cloud Storage Recall workflow is performed, the data will be recalled from the Archive to Hot storage class and will be copied under the <container>/cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete-folder subfolder, and the original data will be still present on the Archive tier.
Note
You must configure a lifecycle policy to delete recalled data after 7 days. This applies to both:
- the standalone
cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-deletecontainer used in earlier versions - the
cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete-foldersubfolder structure used in newer versions across any container
Use this sample json file to configure the lifecycle policy.
If you execute the workflow with backup job as input (On-Demand Recall), you need to perform the following once the data is successfully recalled and restored.
- Execute the workflow again with backup job ID.
- Select the Azure storage policy copy.
- In the User Inputs window, select the Move back data from Hot to Archive option when prompted.
Data will be deleted from the
cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete-foldersubfolder.
Note
Move Back option is not supported for VSA or SQL Server Agents.
