Database backups disabled

A database whose backup retention period is set to zero.

What you need to supply

The infrastructure text. The check does not open the database or a backup vault.

If it reports a finding

High severity. The suggested next step is to set a nonzero retention period and test a restore.

What this does not prove

A database that omits the retention setting is not this finding. No finding does not prove backups exist.

Setting that this check is written to notice

backup_retention_period = 0

All review checks. Reading this page does not submit your infrastructure.
