Support matrix for Azure Database for PostgreSQL- Flexible server (preview)
You can use Azure Backup to protect Azure Database for PostgreSQL- Flexible server. This article summarizes supported regions, scenarios, and the limitations.
Supported regions
Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible server backup is now available in all public regions.
Support scenarios
PostgreSQL Flexible Server backup data can be recovered in user specified storage containers that can be used to rebuild the PostgreSQL flexible server. You can restore this data as a new PostgreSQL - flexible server with the database native tools.
Backups for the PostgreSQL server are supported when the Backup Vault is in the same or a different subscription as the database, provided they are within the same tenant and region. Restores are supported across regions (Azure Paired) and across subscriptions within the same tenant.
Recommended limit for the maximum server size is 4 TB.
PostgreSQL - Flexible servers encrypted by Customer Managed Key are supported.
Private endpoint-enabled Azure PostgreSQL flexible servers can be backed up by allowing trusted Microsoft services in the network settings.
Backups for PGSQLFlex will exclude databases owned by
azuresu
orazure_pg_admin
, including the nativepostgres
database. As a result, databases with these owners cannot be backed up or restored.
Limitation
Currently, restoring backups directly to flexible server isn't supported.
Currently, backing up individual databases isn't supported. You can only back up the entire server.
Only weekly backups are supported with option to opt for only one day in the week on which backup is initiated.
