## Multiple backups per day for Azure Files (in preview)
49+
50+
Low RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is a key requirement for Azure Files that contains the frequently updated, business-critical data. To ensure minimal data loss in the event of a disaster or unwanted changes to file share content, you may prefer to take backups more frequently than once a day.
51+
52+
Using Azure Backup you can now create a backup policy or modify an existing backup policy to take multiple snapshots in a day. With this capability, you can also define the duration in which your backup jobs would trigger. This capability empowers you to align your backup schedule with the working hours when there are frequent updates to Azure Files content.

Azure Backup and Azure Database Services have come together to build an enterprise-class backup solution for Azure PostgreSQL (now in preview). Now you can meet your data protection and compliance needs with a customer-controlled backup policy that enables retention of backups for up to 10 years. With this, you have granular control to manage the backup and restore operations at the individual database level. Likewise, you can restore across PostgreSQL versions or to blob storage with ease.
