For supporting the "oops I accidentally deleted my table/collection/graph - how do I get it back?" scenario, Cosmos DB automatically takes periodic, full backups of all your data. Currently, we restore your backups on demand and its free - you just send a mail to us. In a few months, we will expose an API using which you can restore the data you accidentally deleted yourself.
