Lakehouse Backup
AndyDDC 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)
