title: Increase Azure SQL Managed Instance backup retention beyond 7 days
body: <p>Azure SQL Managed Instance provides a default backup retention of 7 days and this cannot be changed as per MS. Access to the Automated backups are not provided as well which is quite surprising. My client requires the backups to be restored for their analysis.</p>
  
  <p>Requirement is to have last 14 days daily back and 1st day of every month backup to be saved.  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>How can the above requirement is meet? or How do we create automated
  backups and auto archiving from our end in MI with TDE on?</li>
  <li>Provide the location where these automated backups are stored.</li>
  </ul>
