 Cross Region Restore (CRR) allows you to restore MARS backup data from a secondary region, which is an Azure paired region. This enables you to conduct drills for audit and compliance, and recover data during the unavailability of the primary region in Azure in the case of a disaster.

+## Cross Region Restore support for PostgreSQL using Azure Backup
 
 Azure Backup allows you to replicate your backups to an additional Azure paired region by using Geo-redundant Storage (GRS)  to protect your backups from regional outages. When you enable the backups with GRS, the backups in the secondary region become accessible only when Microsoft declares an outage in the primary region. However, Cross Region Restore enables you to access and perform restores from the secondary region recovery points even when no outage occurs in the primary region; thus, enables you to perform drills to assess regional resiliency.
