 Backup vault uses managed identity to access other Azure resources. To restore from backup, Backup vault’s managed identity requires a set of permissions on the Azure PostgreSQL – Flexible Server to which the database should be restored.
 
 To assign the relevant permissions for vault's system-assigned managed identity on the target PostgreSQL – Flexible server, check the [set of permissions](backup-azure-database-postgresql-flex-overview.md#azure-backup-authentication-with-the-postgresql-server) needed to backup Azure PostgreSQL – Flexible Server database.
 
 To restore the recovery point as files to a storage account, the **Backup vault's system-assigned managed identity** needs access on the **target storage account**.

 To list all backup instances within a vault, use the [`az dataprotection backup-instance list`](/cli/azure/dataprotection/backup-instance?view=azure-cli-latest&preserve-view=true#az-dataprotection-backup-instance-list) command. Then fetch the relevant instance using the [`az dataprotection backup-instance show`](/cli/azure/dataprotection/backup-instance?view=azure-cli-latest&preserve-view=true#az-dataprotection-backup-instance-show) command. Alternatively, for at-scale scenarios, you can list backup instances across vaults and subscriptions by using the [`az dataprotection backup-instance list-from-resourcegraph`](/cli/azure/dataprotection/backup-instance?view=azure-cli-latest&preserve-view=true#az-dataprotection-backup-instance-list-from-resourcegraph) command.

 If you have more than one database to restore, rerun the earlier command for each database. Also, by using multiple concurrent jobs `-j`, you can reduce the restore time for a large database on a **multi-vCore target server**. The number of jobs can be equal to or less than the number of `vCPUs` allocated for the target server.
