Cosmos DB is a managed database, on top of which we can run multiple database APIs and distribute data across the globe.

Unlike traditional database deployment, where we make changes in SQL or NoSQL data and deploy it on the server, you need to basically plug in your application with the database ID and you are good to go.

There is no need for more server administration or management handling; it's that simple.

Then, a question arises:

Can we trust them with our data?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to managed database solutions. Yes, you can trust them with your data. In fact, they exist to provide you with the best possible solutions and, if something happens with your data, it's their responsibility to bring it back (if it's not corrupted, of course).

On the subject of trusting things with your data, let's quickly go over the way to backup and restore your data with Cosmos DB.
