Geo-restore uses a geo-replicated backup as its source. You can request geo-restore even if the database or datacenter is inaccessible due to an outage.
 
 Geo-restore is the default recovery option when your database is unavailable because of an incident in the hosting region. You can restore the database to a server in any other region. There is a delay between when a backup is taken and when it is geo-replicated to an Azure blob in a different region. As a result, the restored database can be up to one hour behind the original database. The following illustration shows a database restore from the last available backup in another region.

-# What's new in Azure SQL Database & Azure SQL Managed Instance? 
-
-This article lists features in public preview and current known issues with Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance. 
-
-For SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance updates and improvements, see [SQL Database & SQL Managed Instance service updates](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/?product=sql-database).
-
-## What's new?
-
-Documentation for Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance has been split into separate sections. We've also updated how we refer to a managed instance from *Azure SQL Database managed instance* to *Azure SQL Managed Instance*.
-
-We've done this because some features and functionality vary greatly between a single database and managed instance, and it's become increasingly more of a challenge to explain complex nuances between Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Database Managed Instance in individual 'shared' articles.
-
-This clarification between the different Azure SQL options should simplify and streamline the process of working with SQL in Azure, whether that be a single managed database in Azure SQL Database, a fully-fledged managed instance hosting multiple databases in Azure SQL Managed Instance, or the familiar on-premises SQL Server product but hosted on a virtual machine in Azure.
-
-Consider that this is a work in progress and not every document has been updated yet. For example, Transact-SQL (T-SQL) statements, stored procedures, and many features shared between Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance are not yet complete, so please bear with us!
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The features, functionalities, and capabilities of the product are entirely unchanged. You are still able to deploy the same SQL Managed Instance from the same [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), and you can still leverage all of the features and functionalities that were previously available prior to the name change.

 Save money with Azure SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance by committing to a reservation for compute resources compared to pay-as-you-go prices. With reserved capacity, you make a commitment for SQL Database and/or SQL Managed Instance use for a period of one or three years to get a significant discount on the compute costs. To purchase reserved capacity, you need to specify the Azure region, deployment type, performance tier, and term.
 
-You do not need to assign the reservation to specific SQL Database, or SQL Managed Instance.  Matching existing deployments that are already running or ones that are newly deployed, will automatically get the benefit. By purchasing a reservation, you commit to usage for the compute costs for a period of one or three years. As soon as you buy a reservation, the compute charges that match the reservation attributes are no longer charged at the pay-as-you go rates. A reservation does not cover software, networking, or storage charges associated with the service. At the end of the reservation term, the billing benefit expires and the SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance are billed at the pay-as-you go price. Reservations do not auto-renew. For pricing information, see the [reserved capacity offering](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/sql-database/managed/).
