General availability: Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL geo-redundant backup and restore
Published date: April 24, 2024
While increasingly rare, a region-wide outage might happen, impacting availability of Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters hosted in that region. Geo-redundant backup for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL allows you to protect against outages impacting the primary region by storing cluster backup in another Azure region.
Geo-redundant backup is an optional capability that can be enabled during cluster provisioning. With geo-redundant backup enabled on your cluster, you can do point-in-time restore (PITR) for your cluster to another region at any time regardless of availability of the primary region.
