Scheduled Deletion of a Protected Database
Recovery Service schedules the deletion of a protected database resource and the associated backups.
A protected database resource automatically enters the Delete Scheduled state in these scenarios:
-
You have terminated the source database
The protected database resource enters the Delete Scheduled state and remains in this state for a period of 72 hours (default delay) or until the retention period expires, depending on the retention option that you have selected before terminating the database.
-
You have disabled automatic backups for the source database
The protected database resource enters the Delete Scheduled state and remains in this state for the period defined in the protection policy. Recovery Service automatically deletes the protected database and the associated backups after the backup retention period ends.
At the end of the scheduled delay, the protected database exits the Delete Scheduled state and enters the Deleting state. Finally, the Deleted status indicates that the protected database resource is deleted and cannot be modified.
See Life Cycle States of Recovery Service Resources for details.
Automated Cleanup of Recovery Service Subnets Registered by the Service
After deleting a protected database, Recovery Service also removes the Recovery Service subnet if it was registered by the service and if these conditions are true:
-
You have not modified or updated the Recovery Service subnet after it was registered by the service
-
The Recovery Service subnet is in an Active life cycle state and it has no dependencies with any other protected database
