Restore an Azure Database for PostgreSQL server using Azure CLI
APPLIES TO:
Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server
Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server
This sample CLI script restores a single Azure Database for PostgreSQL server to a previous point in time.
If you don't have an Azure subscription, create an Azure free account before you begin.
Prerequisites
Use the Bash environment in Azure Cloud Shell. For more information, see Azure Cloud Shell Quickstart - Bash.
If you prefer to run CLI reference commands locally, install the Azure CLI. If you are running on Windows or macOS, consider running Azure CLI in a Docker container. For more information, see How to run the Azure CLI in a Docker container.
If you're using a local installation, sign in to the Azure CLI by using the az login command. To finish the authentication process, follow the steps displayed in your terminal. For additional sign-in options, see Sign in with the Azure CLI.
When you're prompted, install Azure CLI extensions on first use. For more information about extensions, see Use extensions with the Azure CLI.
Run az version to find the version and dependent libraries that are installed. To upgrade to the latest version, run az upgrade.
Sample script
For this script, use Azure CLI locally as it takes too long to run in Cloud Shell.
Sign in to Azure
Use the following script to sign in using a specific subscription.
subscription="<subscriptionId>" # add subscription here
az account set -s $subscription # ...or use 'az login'
For more information, see set active subscription or log in interactively
Run the script
# Restore an Azure Database for PostgreSQL server
# Variable block
let "randomIdentifier=$RANDOM*$RANDOM"
location="East US"
resourceGroup="msdocs-postgresql-rg-$randomIdentifier"
tag="backup-restore-postgresql"
server="msdocs-postgresql-server-$randomIdentifier"
sku="GP_Gen5_2"
restoreServer="restore-server$randomIdentifier"
login="azureuser"
password="Pa$$w0rD-$randomIdentifier"
echo "Using resource group $resourceGroup with login: $login, password: $password..."
# Create a resource group
echo "Creating $resourceGroup in $location..."
az group create --name $resourceGroup --location "$location" --tags $tag
# Create a PostgreSQL server in the resource group
# Name of a server maps to DNS name and is thus required to be globally unique in Azure.
echo "Creating $server in $location..."
az postgres server create --name $server --resource-group $resourceGroup --location "$location" --admin-user $login --admin-password $password --sku-name $sku
# Sleeping commands to wait long enough for automatic backup to be created
echo "Sleeping..."
sleep 10m
# Restore a server from backup to a new server
# To specify a specific point-in-time (in UTC) to restore from, use the ISO8601 format:
# restorePoint=ā2021-07-09T13:10:00Zā
restorePoint=$(date +%s)
restorePoint=$(expr $restorePoint - 60)
restorePoint=$(date -d @$restorePoint +"%Y-%m-%dT%T")
echo $restorePoint
echo "Restoring $restoreServer"
az postgres server restore --name $restoreServer --resource-group $resourceGroup --restore-point-in-time $restorePoint --source-server $server
Clean up deployment
Use the following command to remove the resource group and all resources associated with it using the az group delete command - unless you have an ongoing need for these resources. Some of these resources may take a while to create, as well as to delete.
az group delete --name $resourceGroup
Sample reference
This script uses the commands outlined in the following table:
| Command | Notes |
|---|---|
| az group create | Creates a resource group in which all resources are stored. |
| az postgresql server create | Creates a PostgreSQL server that hosts the databases. |
| az postgresql server restore | Restore a server from backup. |
| az group delete | Deletes a resource group including all nested resources. |
