An operator deleted the wrong lock-photo blob and needs a retention window to undelete it. Which protection should the security engineer enable?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Soft delete is the recycling bin on the lock-photo shelf—keep a retention window and you can pull the blob back. It’s not WORM and it’s not the same as Backup.
Full Explanation
Soft delete retains deleted blobs, and related soft-delete features cover containers and Azure Files shares or files per platform capabilities, for a configured retention period so undelete is possible. It addresses accidental deletion, not overwrite versioning or WORM immutability. Immutable time-based policies prevent alteration and deletion for compliance windows. Azure Backup is a separate recovery mechanism and is not identical to storage soft delete.
