Step 4. Configure Restore Settings

At the Settings step of the wizard, choose whether you want to restore the database to the original or to a custom location. To do that, click Edit Cluster Settings, and then select an Azure subscription, an Azure region and a Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster to which the database will be restored.

Important

When selecting a Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster, make sure that the selected cluster does not contain any data and has sufficient storage capacity to accommodate the restored database. Otherwise, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure will fail to perform the restore operation.

You must also specify a database account that will be used to restore database data to the selected location. It is recommended that you select an account that has the built-in citus role.

For a database account to be displayed in the Credentials list, it must be added to Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure as described in section Adding SMTP and Database Accounts. If you have not added the necessary account to Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure beforehand, you can do it without closing the Cosmos DB Restore wizard. To do that, click Add and complete the Add Account wizard.
