 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.

 Also, by using multiple concurrent jobs `-j`, you can reduce the restore time of 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.
