Delayed Deletion of Protected Database Resources and Database Backups

Protected databases now have a new lifecycle state called Delete Scheduled.

A protected database resource enters the Delete Scheduled state after you terminate the source database or if you disable its automatic backups. Recovery Service delays the deletion of the protected database resource and the database backups for 72 hours, or until the backup retention period ends. This feature provides you an opportunity to recover data even after you terminate a database.
