Restore data backups from the instance recycle bin

Background information

When you delete a cluster that has an active backup retention policy, the cluster is moved to the instance recycle bin. Its backup files are retained so that you can restore the backups. For more information about the basic features of the recycle bin, see Instance recycle bin.
