# Backing Up a Database Group for PostgreSQL on Azure Database

You can perform full backup operation of a database group for PostgreSQL on Azure Database.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

   The database Overview page appears.

2. Go to Instances tab.

3. Click the instance.

   The instance Overview page appears.

4. Go to Database groups tab.

5. In the Database groups table, click the database group that you want to back up.

   The database group Overview page appears.

6. Click Backup from the upper-right corner of the page.

   The Backup options dialog box appears.

7. Under Backup level, select Full.

8. Click Submit.

Note

- If the database part of a database group (other than default) is renamed or removed, the backup content for the database group needs to be updated manually. The old database will not be removed automatically.

- By default, backup operations using DumpBased backup set do not include information about roles. This is because `pg_dump` utility that is used to perform DumpBased backup operation does not back up roles information. To save this information using the `pg_dumpall` utility, enable backups for global objects in PostgreSQL databases.
