 ====== Backup and Recovery ======
+  * //Azure Backup// and //Azure Recovery Services// are two distinct services offered by Microsoft Azure for data protection and disaster recovery.
+    * **Azure Backup** is primarily designed for data protection and restoreability, whereas **Azure Recovery Services (Azure Site Recovery)** is focused on disaster recovery and business continuity.
   * The backup vault **must** be in the same region as the data source being backed up.
-  * In the Azure Recovery Services vault, if you delete any data mistakenly, it goes to //soft delete// to protect your data and recover backups. It remains in soft delete for **14 days**
+    * ❓Is it a hard requirement that the vault be in the same region as the data source or a recommendation? [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-create-recovery-services-vault|Ref 1.]]
+  * Vaults can be made [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-immutable-vault-concept?tabs=recovery-services-vault|immutable]], which prevents any operations that could lead to loss of recovery points. By default, the immutability settings is reversible. To make it irreversible the setting can be locked.
+      * Immutable vault is supported for Recovery Services vaults and Backup vaults.
+  * In the Azure Recovery Services vault, if you delete any data mistakenly, it goes to //soft delete// to protect your data and recover backups. It remains in soft delete for **14 days (by default)**
+  * If the option //Always-on Soft Delete// is enabled when a Recovery Services vault is created, soft delete cannot not be disabled later.
+  * There are two types of backup vaults, there are //Azure Backup Vaults// and //Recovery Servicecs Vaults//.
