Thanks John! I had to use this recover functionality of storage account last week when a colleague of mine hosed down a storage account thanks to a Terraform Apply haha.

Extremely comprehensive! I am struggling with versioning on Gen 2 blobs in my Data Lake. Unfortunately, when I enable the "Hierarchical Namespace", the "version" option seems to be disabled. I take it that this combination feature just has not made its way into the product yet. Any thoughts or corrections? Both, features I find critical in their own ways. Thanks!

First, thanks John, excellent video as always. I have a question about soft deleted Blob when you say corruption or whatever change a Blob, soft delete doesn't help. It seems that a snapshot is taken when a blob is overwritten and i can use it to restore my previous file, so from my understanding soft delete protect me from an undesired change of a blob file, is that correct ?

Hi John! I have a question - does the Azure backup snapshots and the backup policies are available also for blob storage or it's only for the shares ?
