You can back up an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL container group on demand.

Note

For Cosmos DB for NoSQL accounts that have multi-region (also called multi-master) writes enabled, only full backups are supported. If you select incremental as the backup type, the Commvault software converts the backup type to full.
