Can Microsoft support help in restoring an accidentally deleted resource group in Azure?

Pratima Patil 20

One of our critical resource groups in azure was accidentally deleted day before yesterday. We have logged a ticket with Microsoft and waiting for a confirmation on whether they can actually help to restore it?

This is very important for me to know whether to wait or continue with a rebuild which I really don't want to because of the data we have in the resources.

Hi Pratima Patil

It's good to refer the following article also

Can I recover a deleted resource group?

No, you can't recover a deleted resource group. However, you might be able to restore some recently deleted resources.

Some resource types support soft delete. You might have to configure soft delete before you can use it

Hope this helps.
