Updates to Azure: Azure Cosmos DB now offers geo-redundant backup and restore for PostgreSQL databases



In rare cases, a region-wide outage can impact the availability of Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters in that region. To safeguard against such outages, users can opt for geo-redundant backup for their Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters. This feature allows users to store cluster backups in a different Azure region, providing an extra layer of protection.

Geo-redundant backup can be enabled during the cluster provisioning process and enables users to perform a point-in-time restore of the cluster to another region at any time, even if the primary region is experiencing availability issues. This feature gives users peace of mind knowing that their data is secure and accessible even in the event of a region-wide outage. To learn more about geo-redundant backup and how it can benefit your Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters, visit the official Azure documentation.
