Lakehouse Backup
Most Valuable Professionalhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/security/experience-specific-guidance
this may help if you want to backup data to another lakehouse (doesn't matter if it's region fail, the overall process would work)
Community ChampionAndyDDC Will this also work if someone accidentally deletes a Lakehouse?
E.g. like this:
Won't the Lakehouse then also get automatically deleted in the backup region?
When we delete files from OneDrive or Sharepoint, I think there is a time period (x number of days) where you can recover the file from the recycle bin.
Is there a similar functionality if someone deletes a Fabric Lakehouse?
I'm curious about this 😀
I also found this Idea for being able to recover a Lakehouse: https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=36fb5834-45ac-ee11-92bd-6045bdb0416e please vote if you want this feature.
I don't think the restore points are so important, because we can do time travel.
However I think there should be an out-of-the-box functionality for restoring an accidentally deleted Lakehouse or Lakehouse table.

In that MS doc, for a Lakehouse backup it's not really very advanced...all it's doing is copying the Delta tables from a source Lakehouse to a destination (backup) lakehouse. Nothing is system managed, it's just done through code.
AFAIK if a Lakehouse is deleted then it's gone... If a Workspace is deleted it can be recovered (7 days)
