    Just popping in to say I can't believe it's been more than two years since the developers have bothered to look at this.

    Out of the ~1,080 suggestions here, this is #14 by votes. Can we please get a little attention here for this critical feature?

    > Cloud Backup restores are extremely fast.

    Unfortunately this isn't really true. Restorations for my ~8GB database (which is pretty small) take about 15 minutes to restore, which, in addition to the 15 minutes to provision a new cluster, etc., means waiting around 30-45 minutes just to make a single query, only to realize you need to go back one more day in your snapshots and try again, waiting another 15-30 minutes.

    It's also expensive. Every backup restoration gets charged "data transfer fees", which add up fast if you need to dig through more than one snapshot, especially as the database grows. It's just a *little bit* questionable to ask your customers to use an obnoxious, slow, workaround for a feature that should be standard, and then charge them for it.

    I really hope the Devs actually work on this, especially since it *used* to work in the legacy backups!
