    No native full backup/restore feature exists yet in Microsoft Fabric for entire workspaces (Lakehouses, Warehouses, Pipelines, Dataflows, Notebooks).

     

    Granular recovery: Some automatic redundancy & BLOB-level backups exist (esp. for Lakehouses via OneLake/ADLS under the hood).

     

    Point-in-time restore isn’t supported today for Fabric items.

     

    Workarounds / recommendations:

    Use source control (Git integration) for Notebooks, Dataflows, Pipelines.

    Use OneLake APIs / ADLS Gen2 APIs or Fabric REST APIs to regularly export metadata and data.

    For structured data (Lakehouse/Warehouse), rely on delta tables which inherently support versioning/time travel.

    For enterprise backup, implement Azure Backup / custom scripts against OneLake storage.

    Bottom line: Backups are limited & manual right now; best practice is Git for code + OneLake/Delta for data.
