Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Backup Logs

Question

How can I get a log/history of backups performed on Azure Database for PostgreSQL? The documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/single-server/concepts-backup states:
For servers that support up to 4-TB maximum storage, full backups occur once every week. Differential backups occur twice a day.

Where are the logs for these backups? How do I know the backups were successful?
Thanks.

Hi @Manish Jadhav Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A and for using Azure services.

My understanding is that you are looking to see the history of backups performed on Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

We currently don’t expose this information as backups are managed service and the best way to check backups is to perform periodic PITR and ensure that backups are valid and restorable. Backup operations or files are not exposed to end users, but you can still see backup usage in azure portal, under Monitoring - Metrics - Backup usage metric.
There is a chance for the product group to expose the backup information to customers in flexible server in the future.
