Adding a PostgreSQL instance on Azure database using an existing Azure account

You can either use an existing PostgreSQL instance or add a new PostgreSQL instance on Azure Database, using an existing Azure account.

Before You Begin

Configure the permissions to access the Azure resources. Download the AzureDBBackupRole.json file and use it to apply the permissions.

Procedure

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

2. On the database Overview page, from the Add instance list, select Cloud database service.

3. On the Add Cloud DB instance page, select Microsoft Azure, and then click Next.

4. On the Configure Azure Database page, select PostgreSQL and then click Next.

   The Configure Azure Database - PostgreSQL page appears. For further configuration, see Complete database guided setup

Results

• The new instance contains a dump-based backup set and a default subclient.

• When you add an instance, a default database group is automatically created. The default database group includes all the data in the PostgreSQL database. You cannot delete the default database group.
