There are many Containers in my CosmosDB Database, And I need to backup some but not all containers everyday. Some container are backuped for 7days, some are 15 days.

  1. I don't want to use incremental backup, because we just backup once everyday.
  2. Maybe we store backup dataset into Azure blob storage

The thing I don't know => container == collection. Azure document is so confusing!

Probably you can create a job on Azure Data Factory (aka ADF, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-azure-cosmos-db), use the ADF job to copy data from these containers, and save the data as files (one file for one container) in somewhere (like Azure Blob Storage).
