Supplemental Guidance
Transaction-based systems include database management systems and transaction processing systems. Mechanisms supporting transaction recovery include transaction rollback and transaction journaling.
Practitioner Notes
This enhancement requires the ability to recover individual transactions — not just full system restores — for systems that process ongoing transactions.
Example 1: Enable SQL Server transaction log backups every 15 minutes so you can perform point-in-time recovery of your database to any moment, not just the last full backup.
Example 2: Configure your Azure SQL Database with automated point-in-time restore capability, allowing recovery to any point within the retention period (up to 35 days).
