How can I rename Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server as it has name

Question

How can I rename Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server as it has suffix backup. We are currently using copy of backup database and did lots of development on top of it. What is the best way to rename it so that it does not have backup in the name

Hi @Grover, Jyoti [ABMUS]

At this moment, renaming an Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server directly is not supported. However, you can achieve the desired outcome by creating a new server with the preferred name and migrating your data or perform PITR. While restoring server, enter your server name without backup
