-Azure Cosmos DB automatically takes a full backup of your data for every 4 hours and at any point of time, the latest two backups are stored. This configuration is the default option and it’s offered without any extra cost. You can change the default backup interval and retention period during the Azure Cosmos account creation or after the account is created. The backup configuration is set at the Azure Cosmos account level and you need to configure it on each account. After you configure the backup options for an account, it’s applied to all the containers within that account. You can modify these settings using [Portal](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cosmos-db/configure-periodic-backup-restore#modify-backup-options-using-azure-portal---new-account),[powershell](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cosmos-db/configure-periodic-backup-restore#modify-backup-options-using-azure-powershell) or [command line interface](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cosmos-db/configure-periodic-backup-restore#modify-backup-options-using-azure-cli).
