|Number of full backups supported per day | One scheduled backup. <br><br> Three on-demand backups. <br><br> We recommend not to trigger more than three backups per day. However, to allow user retries in case of failed attempts, hard limit for on-demand backups is set to nine attempts. |

| Log shipping | When you enable [log shipping](/sql/database-engine/log-shipping/about-log-shipping-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15&preserve-view=true) on the SQL server database that you are backing up, we recommend you to disable log backups in the backup policy. This is because, the log shipping (which automatically sends transaction logs from the primary to secondary database) will interfere with the log backups enabled through Azure Backup. <br><br> Therefore, if you enable log shipping, ensure that your policy only has full and/or differential backups enabled. |

| Retention period for on-demand backups | For Full/ Differential/ Incremental backups, the out-of-box retention is 45 days. <br><br> For Copy-only full backup, you can define a custom retention period. |
