Copying an OCI Database with PostgreSQL Backup to Another Region

Copy an existing OCI Database with PostgreSQL database system backup to another region.

We recommend using a management policy that automatically creates and copies backups. Manually copying a backup doesn't guarantee the sequence and size of backups, which can lead to increased costs. For more information, see Backup Size and Copy Order.

1. Open the navigation menu and select Databases. Under PostgreSQL, select Backups.
2. (Optional) In the List scope section, under Compartment, select a compartment.
3. Select the name of the backup that you want to copy.
4. Select the More actions menu, and then select Create backup copy.
5. In the Create backup copy panel, provide the following information:
  
  Compartment: Select a compartment for the backup copy.
  
  Regions: Select a region for the backup copy.
  
  Backup retention period (days): Enter a value, in days, that the backup copy will be retained before it's deleted by the system.
6. Select Submit.
Use the oci psql backup backup-copy command and required parameters to create a backup:
oci psql backup backup-copy --backup-id <backup_OCID> --compartment-id <compartment_OCID> --regions <regions_JSON> [OPTIONS]
For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
Run the CopyBackup operation to copy a backup to another region.
