Volume backups can currently only be restored into the same project and environment, and there is no built-in cross-region backup replication or API to copy backups to a different project or region. For a DR strategy, you would need to handle cross-region data replication at the application level, for example by running pg_dump on a schedule and pushing the output to external storage, or by setting up a Postgres replica in a second region using streaming replication. More details on our backup feature and its current limitations are in the backups docs, and the volume backup API can be used to automate backup creation and listing within the same project.

The OOTB backup feature is half baked. All backup best practices start with the ability to keep it in a different location. Is there a plan to add a replication capability ?

Any update on this question/request ?

Cross-region backup replication is not currently available, and there is nothing on the roadmap for it at this time. Backups can only be restored within the same project and environment.
