Your Azure Cosmos DB account uses the continuous backup (v2) policy. A bug corrupted a container 4 hours ago. You must recover the container’s state from 4 hours ago without overwriting the current data so you can compare and validate fixes. What should you do? (Select two)

Correct answer: Initiate a point-in-time restore of the specific container to a new Cosmos DB account (or a new resource name) and specify the restore timestamp as 4 hours ago., Ensure the restore timestamp you choose is within the account’s configured continuous backup retention window..
Why this is the answer
Continuous backup (v2) in Azure Cosmos DB allows for point-in-time restore (PITR) of data. To recover a container's state from a specific time without overwriting current data, you must restore it to a new Cosmos DB account or a new resource name within the same account. This creates a separate copy, allowing comparison and validation. The restore timestamp must be within the continuous backup retention window, which is 7 days by default for continuous backup (v2). Performing an in-place restore is incorrect because continuous backup PITR does not support restoring over existing data; it always creates a new resource. Opening a support ticket is unnecessary as PITR is a self-service feature for containers. Rotating account keys is irrelevant to the restore process itself.
