+- **Soft Delete**: With soft delete, even if a malicious actor deletes a backup (or backup data is accidentally deleted), the backup data is retained for 14 additional days, allowing the recovery of that backup item with no data loss. The additional 14 days of retention for backup data in the "soft delete" state don't incur any cost to you. Additionally, Azure Backup provides *Enhanced soft delete*, an improvement to the soft delete feature. With enhanced soft delete, you can *customize soft delete retention period* and make *soft delete always-on*, thus protecting it from being disabled by any malicious actors.
