Backup Up Cosmos DB

Josh Smith shows us how to back up a Cosmos DB collection:

Now that ADF is a trusted service I wanted to document the state of my current solution since I’ve been able to dump the hack-y PowerShell script I put together. I haven’t been able to get the level of abstraction I’d really like to see but overall I think I’m pretty happy with the solution (and I still get to include a hack-y PowerShell script). My solution consists of

– a control pipeline,
– a notification pipeline and
– 1 pipeline for every Cosmos DB service I want to to work with. (This is because I wasn’t able to figure out a way to abstract the data source connection for the Copy Data task.)

Read on for the solution.
