Azure recover deleted database

Question

I've accidentally deleted my Azure web site which was linked to database, and now my Database is gone.

Is there any way I can recover data from database ?

Answer 1

If you are using web and business edition databases, you should rely on DB Copy and export to generate *.bacpac files.

The self-service restore is now supported on all new service tiers: Basic, Standard, and Premium, with different retention policy. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj650016.aspx

Answer 2

In the Azure Portal:

• On the left menu, click 'All Resources'
• Select the Sql Server from which the database was deleted
• Scroll down to the 'Operations' section
• Click 'Deleted databases'
• Select the database to restore
• Review the information and click OK

Note that restoring a backup from the list can still fail if it's outside the retention period for your pricing tier.
