    Hi @sakuraime , thank you for reaching out to us!

    A database that you add to an autoprotected instance might not immediately appear under protected items. This is because the discovery typically runs every 8 hours. However, you can discover and protect new databases immediately if you manually run a discovery by selecting Rediscover DBs.
    Refer to the FAQ page - https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/backup/faq-backup-sql-server#why-cant-i-see-an-added-database-for-an-autoprotected-instance
