Restoring Volumes for Block-Level Backups for PostgreSQL

You can browse and select PostgreSQL volumes to restore from a backup copy on a tape or a disk. You can use multiple streams so that the restore operation completes faster.

Note

  • Volume level browse and restore operations are supported only for PostgreSQL clients that have Indexing Version 2 enabled.

  • By default, Indexing Version 2 is enabled for a new client that is created in Feature Release 11.20 or later.
