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, and the original data will be still present on the Archive tier.
Note
Move Back option is not supported for VSA or SQL Server Agents.
-
If you execute the workflow with restore job as input (Automatic Recall), data will be moved back to archive automatically once the restore job completes.
-
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-deletecontainer.
Note
Alternatively, you can configure a life cycle policy to delete recalled data after 7 days from the cvshadowcopy-do-not-use-or-delete folder. Use this sample json file to configure the life cycle policy.
