Note
Out of place database-level restores from AlloyDB to non-AlloyDB destination engines are not supported because the following AlloyDB-specific extensions cannot be created on the target destination: google_columnar_engine, google_db_advisor, and hypopg. However, table-level out-of-place restores are possible when only user-created tables, views, or other elements are selected.
