Which Azure Backup vault supported data sources support cross-region restores?

Question

Of the supported data sources for the Azure Backup vault service (not the recovery services vault) shown below:

• Azure Disks
• Azure Blobs (Azure Storage)
• Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers
• Kubernetes Services
• Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Servers (Preview)
• Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Servers (Preview)

Which currently support cross-region vaulted backup restores? I tried testing it for Azure Blobs and I couldn't get it to work. It was working with cross-subscription without any issues. I've made sure the vault is GRZ storage and has cross-region and cross-subscription enabled.

Hello Andrew

Currently, only PostgreSQL Single Server and Vaulted AKS Backup (Preview) provide the Cross Region Restore (CRR) functionality. Blob Vaulted Backups are the next targeted CRR enabled option, but it is not available yet.- AKS Vaulted Backup (Preview)

• PostgreSQL Single Server - This is on a retirement path
  • https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/restore-azure-database-postgresql#restore-databases-across-regions
• Azure Blob Vaulted Backup
  • Next target for CRR
  • https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/blob-restore?tabs=vaulted-backup
• Azure Disk Backup
  • No vaulted option currently, CRR is not possible without it.
• PostgreSQL/MySQL Flexible Server Vaulted Backup (Preview)
  • Not currently available, likely in the future.

As the feature is added to additional product lines, you should be able to find similar blurbs in the Restore documents linked to each offering.
