Azure API manager using terraform

I am new to Terraform and was wondering if we can use Terraform to implement a kind of disaster recovery for Azure API manager.
I know there is disaster recovery implementation by Microsoft for API manager but I wanted to explore if I can just recreate the whole thing using Terraform.
I am able to recreate the API manager using Terraform with the same configuration/APIs etc.
The only thing which is unclear to me how to back up and recreate the same subscriptions/products in API manager using Terraform.
For example, if someone deletes the API manager, I want to recreate it using Terraform and import all the existing products/subscriptions (keys).
Any ideas?

Similar to using ARM Templates, you can use Terraform to deploy Azure APIM as well. You refer the azurerm provider docs for more information.

But for all runtime data like users & subscriptions, you will have to consider setting up a backup/restore system utilizing the built-in feature.

After deploying APIM using terraform, you will have to restore the runtime data separately. Also, depending on your Recovery Time Objective, you will have to take frequent backups.

PS: Logic Apps are a great way to setup automatic backups. There is an official sample that you can refer to for this.
