 # Create Azure Data Protection backup policies for blobs using REST API
 
+Azure Backup policy typically governs the retention and schedule of your backups. As operational backup for blobs is continuous in nature, you don't need a schedule to perform backups. The policy is essentially needed to specify the retention period. You can reuse the backup policy to configure backup for multiple storage accounts to a vault.

->Restoring over long durations may lead to restore operations taking longer to complete. Furthermore, the time that it takes to restore a set of data is based on the number of write and delete operations made during the restore period. For example, an account with one million objects with 3,000 objects added per day and 1,000 objects deleted per day will require approximately two hours to restore to a point 30 days in the past. A retention period and restoration more than 90 days in the past would not be recommended for an account with this rate of change.
