Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server: Restore a Server

Find the snapshot you want to restore

1. In your inventory, select the Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server you want to restore. The Resource details panel opens.

2. Click the Eon snapshots tab. You’ll see a calendar view with colored dots on the days when snapshots were taken. There can be more than one snapshot per day.

   When you click a day, a list of Eon snapshots taken that day is displayed below the calendar.

3. When you find the snapshot you want, click Restore. The Restore PostgreSQL Server wizard opens.

Choose the restore account

In the Restore PostgreSQL Server wizard, you’re taken through a two-step process. The first step is to choose a restore account.

Choose the subscription you want to restore to, and then click Next.

Set the server configuration

In the Configuration step, you’ll set the server details.

1. Enter a PostgreSQL server name for the new server. This doesn’t have to match the original server name.

2. Choose a Region to deploy the restored server to.

3. Choose a Resource group to deploy the restored server to.

4. Select the Virtual network and Subnet to use. The subnet must have the Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers delegation. If it doesn’t, Eon attempts to add it automatically. If that fails, you’ll be prompted to add it manually or select a different subnet.

5. If you want to retain the tags that were present when the snapshot was taken, turn Keep original tags on. Otherwise, turn Keep original tags off.

6. Click Restore to start the asynchronous restore job.

Monitor the restore job

You can see your list of restore jobs on the Restore jobs tab in the Jobs page.
