Azure Recovery Vault Orphan

A Recovery Services vault keeps billing for the restore points it holds after the workloads it protected are gone, and those points protect nothing.

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

Azure

Found, explained, fixed.

Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across Azure, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Delete the recovery vault with no protected items. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.

03

Fix

In one click, ZopNight deletes the resource, then checks the change took. When someone other than an admin starts a pause or a delete, an admin approves it first.
