Microsoft Fabric Capacity Overage Protection for Power BI

❌ What happens if someone accidentally deletes a critical asset in MS Fabric? This was undoubtedly one of the top questions I got from customers. ⭐ A long awaited feature to prevent accidental data loss in Microsoft Fabric just got released! With Item‑level Soft Delete & Recovery, you now have an added safeguard. When a supported item is deleted from a workspace, it enters a retention period (configurable up to 90 days) where workspace Contributors, Members or Admins can restore it. Recovery is available directly via the workspace recycle bin, and restored items retain their original properties, configurations and relationships. You can see my short demo in this video, where I recovered a deleted Lakehouse. ➡️ Activate it this now via Tenant Settings → Item Recovery.

Item Recovery(Soft Delete) is now available in Microsoft Fabric ♻️ This is a really useful update in Fabric that I feel many of us needed. Earlier, if something like a pipeline, notebook or lakehouse got deleted, it was gone for good even if it was accidental. Workspace-level safety existed, but not at the individual item level. Now with Item Recovery, deleted items go into a recycle bin and can be restored within a retention period of 7 to 90 days, depending on how it’s configured. The good part is, when you recover it, everything comes back as it was including permissions,data,lineage and other details. It’s something tenant admins need to enable the item recovery , so definitely worth checking if it’s turned on. #Fabric

Most Microsoft 365 tenants don't have a storage problem. They have a visibility problem 👀. 30 to 50 percent of stored M365 data is redundant, obsolete, or trivial. And every gigabyte sits on premium storage whether it's useful or not. ❌ Files no one has touched in years, billed at full price ❌ Hundreds of versions that will never be opened again ❌ Duplicates everywhere, no ownership trail ❌ IT buying more capacity because they can't see what's safe to act on We broke down where the waste hides and what the fix looks like. Link in comments.

Great perspective from TeamsFox on the real Microsoft 365 challenge: it’s often not storage volume, but storage visibility. For TeamsFox Asia, this is especially relevant as organizations across the region look to reduce cost, strengthen governance, and prepare their M365 environments for AI readiness. A smarter view of inactive, redundant, and unmanaged data can make a big difference.

The $50,000 "Oops" (and how to avoid it) 🛑 We’ve all seen it: A brand new, beautiful rack deployment that looks like a work of art... until the first real workload hits. Then comes the 3 AM alert. The thermal throttle. The "infant mortality" failure of a PSU that just couldn't handle the heat. The truth? Most downtime isn't a software glitch. It's a physical stress failure. In the MSP world, "Rack Burn-In Testing" is often the first thing cut from the schedule to save time. But skipping it is basically just "operating on hope." Why we push hardware to the breaking point (on purpose): • Finding the "Hot Spots": You don't want to discover an airflow dead zone when the server is already at the client's site. • The "Infant Mortality" Filter: Components often fail in the first 48 hours of heavy use. Better they fail in your lab than in their production environment. • Power Truth-Telling: Will your PDUs actually hold up at sustained peak load? A "smoke test" won't tell you. A burn-in will. The ROI of Being "Over-Prepared": Beyond just avoiding the 3 AM phone call, this is about SLA Integrity. In regulated sectors, it’s the difference between passing an audit and facing a massive breach. The Strategy: We don’t just deploy. We stress-test, we validate, and then we go live. It’s the difference between a "pretty" rack and a reliable one. 🛠️ Be honest: Are you guys doing a full-load burn-in, or are you just crossing your fingers after the first boot? 👇 #DataCenter #Infrastructure #MSP #ServerLife #Reliability #PrimeNode #ITOps

Even if you're the best ESP, no customer is going to wait five months for your IPs to warm up. They're losing revenue every day you can't hit their full list. So what do you do? Don't be like most ESPs that ask the customer to manually send to 500 people on day one, 2,000 on day two, 3,000 on day three. The customer who just paid you a boatload of money will wonder why THEY are doing your grunt work. The problem gets worse with Microsoft. Microsoft throttles harder, blocks faster, and takes longer to resolve than any other provider. If they block half your IPs, and all your traffic is round-robined across the same pool, your entire Outlook volume just stops. No routing controls means no workaround. All ESPs that use SendPost can handle this smartly because… → IPs are pre-warmed before they're ever assigned to a customer → Microsoft-bound traffic gets its own routing with dedicated throttling and connection limits → IPs warm up in auto mode with Microsoft-specific volume ramps — conservative, signal-driven → Whatever volume the warming IPs can't handle overflows to shared pools automatically ESPs’ customers send at full capacity from day one, while the dedicated infrastructure builds a reputation in the background This is exactly how SendX runs. When we moved from legacy sending engines to SendPost, warm-up success jumped from 60-70% to 90-95% on SendPost’s auto mode, and delivery climbed from 70% to 95-98%.

Do you know how quickly you could recover Microsoft 365 data after an incident? If you can't answer that in one sentence, it's worth checking. At BackupVault, we recommend a quick self-assessment to find gaps that slow recovery and prioritise fixes: 📝 What to check first - Can you restore Mail and other Microsoft 365 services separately and quickly? - Are your backups isolated from live systems and immutable? - Is recovery automated, tested, and documented? - Who owns the recovery process and can they act outside business hours? Why this matters If recovery is slow or unclear, downtime becomes a major cost — your data is YOUR responsibility. Knowing the answers means you can reduce disruption and restore services faster.
