You can now use point-in-time recovery to restore your zonal instance to a preferred primary zone and your regional instance to both a preferred primary zone and a preferred secondary zone

## Feature You can now use point-in-time recovery to restore your zonal instance to a preferred primary zone and your regional instance to both a preferred primary zone and a preferred secondary zone. For more information, see [Use point-in-time recovery (PITR)](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/backup-recovery/pitr). When you clone your zonal instance, you can now specify a preferred zone for the instance. You can also specify preferred primary and secondary zones for your regional instance. If the zones for your instance go down in the future, then Cloud SQL can assign the preferred zones to the instance, and you don't experience downtime. For more information, see [Clone instances](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/clone-instance).
