pg_dump is not an option due to the projected size of the database.
It appears that the Azure backup only works for Postgres Single Server.
My requirement is to copy the native Postgres backups to storage accounts. These backups need to be made immutable and the retention must be greater than 35 days. Of course I would need a way to restore from these backups. Point in time would be nice but I would understand if that wasn't possible.
Is there a way to copy the backups to a storage account? If not can the native backups be marked as immutable?
Hi @Evelyn Dibben Thank you for your query.
As per my understanding you are trying to make a copy of your Azure PostgreSQL DB backups to azure storage account.
This can be done using Azure Files. see Backup Azure Database for PostgreSQL to a Blob Storage
Please let us know if this helps.

That solution uses pg_dump, which I don't want to use. I want to store the native backups to another file system. Thanks for the help though.
Hi @Evelyn Dibben , Thanks for your response.
Right now, we don’t offer this capability, but our product team is working on On-demand backups that should give customers ability to store the backups to different location.
