  • Have you read the documentation Microsoft provide for Azure SQL DB redundancy, that would be a good starting place

  • Strong recommendation. Read through the Azure documentation on backups, restores, and retention. Partial recovery is likely to be a challenge (it's a challenge on a local machine). You're going to need a mechanism (I'd recommend scripting it out and testing it several times) to restore a database backup to a new database (only way it works in Azure) and then figure out how to migrate data from that location. None of this is easy. Also, remember, Azure has a DR plan and multiple DR scenarios mapped out. Perry has pointed out part of it.
