Connect the Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

For Agents

Associate an Azure SQL server with a Recovery Services vault so backups can be retained beyond the default window.

Use for: I need to register a long-term retention vault for an Azure SQL server, List the LTR vaults attached to a SQL server, Get the named vault registration on a server, Update which Recovery Services vault stores LTR backups

Not supported: Does not trigger backups, list recovery points, or restore databases - use for registering a Recovery Services vault on a SQL server only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Enable long-term backup retention for compliance

Register a Recovery Services vault on a SQL server so that database backups can be retained for years rather than the default 35 days. The PUT /backupLongTermRetentionVaults/{vaultName} operation associates a vault id with the server in a single call. Required for industries with long retention mandates such as financial services and healthcare.

PUT /servers/{serverName}/backupLongTermRetentionVaults/RetentionVault with the recoveryServicesVaultResourceId and verify the GET returns the new association

Compliance audit of LTR coverage

Walk every SQL server in a subscription and report which have an LTR vault registered and which fall back to the default backup window. The GET /backupLongTermRetentionVaults collection returns each server's vault association in a single call. Output supports auditor reports demonstrating retention coverage.

Iterate every SQL server in subscriptionId X, GET its backupLongTermRetentionVaults, and emit a CSV of servers without a registered vault

Re-target backups to a new vault

Move LTR backups for a server to a different Recovery Services vault, for example to consolidate vaults across regions or migrate from a legacy vault. The same PUT operation accepts the new vault id, replacing the existing association. Use during vault consolidation initiatives.

PUT /servers/{serverName}/backupLongTermRetentionVaults/RetentionVault with the new recoveryServicesVaultResourceId and verify the previous vault no longer appears in the GET list

Agent-driven retention setup

Let an AI agent register an LTR vault as part of an environment bring-up workflow without an operator hand-coding the long ARM URL. Through Jentic the agent searches by intent, loads the vault id schema, and executes the PUT. Removes a class of typos when constructing nested resource paths.

Search Jentic for 'register long term retention vault azure sql', load the vault association schema, and execute against the named server

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your Azure AD credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'register a long term retention vault for an azure sql server' or 'list the vaults on a server', and Jentic returns the matching Microsoft.Sql backupLongTermRetentionVaults operation with its vault id input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without constructing the ARM path itself.

FAQs

Specific to using Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault?

Microsoft Azure does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does this API use?

The API uses Azure AD OAuth 2.0 with the implicit flow, scoped to user_impersonation against management.azure.com. Through Jentic, the bearer token is held in your Jentic One instance and exchanged for a scoped access token at execution time.

Can I register more than one vault on a server?

At this API version (2014-04-01) the backupLongTermRetentionVaults collection holds a single named registration per server, addressed as /backupLongTermRetentionVaults/{backupLongTermRetentionVaultName}. Subsequent versions of the broader long-term retention API expose richer policy controls.

What are the rate limits for this API?

Azure Resource Manager applies tenant-level throttling - typically 12,000 reads and 1,200 writes per hour per subscription. The PUT operation may return 202 Accepted; track completion via the Azure-AsyncOperation header.

How do I register a vault through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search for 'register long term retention vault azure sql'. Jentic returns the PUT /backupLongTermRetentionVaults/{name} operation, loads the recoveryServicesVaultResourceId schema, and executes against the server you specify.

Does this API trigger or restore individual backups?

No. This API only manages the vault association on a SQL server. Triggering a backup, listing recovery points, or restoring to a point in time is handled by the related backup and Recovery Services APIs.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Azure SQL Server Backup Long Term Retention Vault API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which of the three operations the agent can reach: listing the vaults on a server, reading a named vault registration, or the PUT that registers or updates a vault. You can grant only the two read operations, so the vault-attaching PUT is not included unless you add it, leaving an agent that can only list and inspect registrations. Since the server and vault name sit in the request path, a rule can also pin the agent to a single server's vault registration.
