Life Cycle States of Recovery Service Resources

Learn how Recovery Service resources progress through different life cycle states based on specific events.

Table B-1 Life Cycle States of Protected Databases

Life Cycle State Description

Creating

A protected database is in the process of being created. You must wait for a protected database to reach the Active state before you can modify or delete the resource.

Active

A protected database is created and available for use.

Updating

A protected database is being updated.

A protected database usually moves back to the Active state after modification.

Failed

A protected database failed during creation or modification.

Delete Scheduled

The protected database and its backups are scheduled for deletion due to one of these reasons:
  • You have terminated the source database
  • You have disabled automatic backups for the database

Before you terminate a database, you can specify whether to retain the protected database backups for a period of 72 hours or until the policy retention period expires.

After you terminate the source database:
  • Recovery Service schedules the deletion of the associated protected database and its backups
  • The protected database enters the Delete Scheduled state
  • The protected database remains in the Delete Scheduled state, either for 72 hours (default delay) or until the policy retention period ends, depending on the option that you have selected while terminating the source database

When you disable automatic backups for a database, the protected database enters the Delete Scheduled state. Recovery Service schedules the deletion of the associated protected database and its backups after a 72 hour delay.

At the end of the scheduled delay, the protected database exits the Delete Scheduled state and enters the Deleting state.

When a protected database is in the Delete Scheduled state, the Health field does not display the protection status.

A protected database may return to the Active state if the scheduled deletion is canceled.

Deleting

The protected database and its backups is being deleted, and cannot be modified.

A protected database exits the Delete Scheduled state and enters the Deleting state when the scheduled delay of 72 hours ends or after the backup retention period ends, depending on the option you have selected while terminating the source database.

Deleted

The protected database is deleted and cannot be modified.
