Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL automates PITR after DR and failover
Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL now automatically enables point-in-time recovery (PITR) as a separate, asynchronous operation after disaster recovery (DR) switchover and replica failover. This change decouples PITR enablement from the primary DR/failover process, preventing it from blocking crucial operations. Consequently, these recovery operations complete faster, helping users reduce their overall recovery time.

- Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL now automatically enables point-in-time recovery (PITR) in a separate, asynchronous operation after disaster recovery (DR) switchover and replica failover operations complete. Because PITR enablement no longer blocks switchover and replica failover, these operations complete faster, helping you reduce your recovery time. For more information, see Use advanced disaster recovery (DR) .
