I had deleted a resource group accidently and all its object got deleted.

How can i recover the objects that got deleted.

Database recovery of MySQL server is the main concern.

Azure Database for MySQL

    Hi @gurpreet singh , Hope you are doing well.
    Thank you for your question.

    A deleted Azure Resource Group itself cannot be restored, and deleting a Resource Group removes the resources contained within it.

    However, since your main concern is Azure** Database for **MySQL, recovery may still be possible depending on the MySQL deployment type and how recently the server was deleted.

    For Azure Database for MySQL, Microsoft provides a process to recover a dropped server using retained backups, provided the deletion occurred within the supported recovery window and the backup metadata is still available. The recovery process typically involves:

    1. Identifying the deleted MySQL server from the Azure Activity Log.
    2. Obtaining the deleted server's Resource ID and deletion timestamp.
    3. Performing a Point-in-Time Restore to create a new server from the retained backup.
    4. Recovering the required databases from the restored server.

    While the Resource Group itself cannot be recovered, the MySQL server data may still be recoverable if it falls within the supported restore conditions.

    Kind Regards,
    Microsoft Support Team.

    Hi @gurpreet singh ,

    a deleted Resource Group with related Azure objects can't be recovered.

    But can restore Database from an existing backup.
