Important Factoids

References

Configuring locally redundant or geo-redundant storage for backup is only allowed during server create. Once the server is provisioned, you cannot change the backup storage redundancy option. In order to move your backup storage from locally redundant storage to geo-redundant storage, creating a new server and migrating the data using dump and restore is the only supported option

• Support for azurerm_postgresql_server.geo_redundant_backup_enabled seems incomplete #9566

I can confirm the behaviour as well. Expect for it to be recreated but I just get this error:
