Azure Data Catalog Backup

100 views Asked by At

Since ADC is provided by MS as SaaS to customers, is MS taking backups of the dataset and business glossary? If yes, how often and how can a customer get access to the backups for recovery purposes?

Unfortunately, there is no explicit backup/restore feature available for catalogs.

I would suggest you to vote up an idea submitted by another Azure customer.

All of the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.


The closest way to achieve this with current functionality is to use the Azure Data Catalog REST API to extract all assets and persist them locally (and re import them manually later).

There is a sample application available that demonstrates this technique: Data Catalog Import/Export sample tool.
