Backup of data warehousing

[v-ryotak1]

Currently, the Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse supports metadata-based backup capabilities, which are effective for recovery in the event of failures. While Disaster Recovery (DR) provides fault tolerance, its high cost makes it challenging for organizations with limited budgets to implement.

To address these limitations and provide a more cost-effective solution, we strongly request the addition of a feature to directly export or back up tabular data stored in OneLake in the Delta Parquet format as part of the Data Warehouse functionality.

Furthermore, implementing backup options such as "full" and "differential," similar to those available in SQL Server, would improve flexibility and operational efficiency.

Introducing these features would significantly enhance Fabric's backup and recovery capabilities, providing users with a robust and cost-effective data protection solution.

To comply with corporate backup and retention policies, backups need to be more than just warehouses, but all of OneLake.
