Description

MariaDB Servers deployed in Azure should have geo-redundant backup enabled by setting the geo_redundant_backup_enabled attribute to true. Without geo-redundant backups, your database backups are stored only within the primary region, making them vulnerable to regional outages or disasters that could lead to data loss. Enabling geo-redundant backups ensures that your backups are replicated to a paired Azure region and increases your ability to restore data in the event of a regional failure.
