Is there a way to connect external sources to a postgres database or consume a postgres DB backup? We cannot collect directly from type 1 encryptors but we can get a backup of the encryptor manager DB

Currently External Data Sources is limited to:

Forward supports data in JSON, CSV and any text. Binary data is not supported.

It is in the “Note” at the top of the documentation for External Sources.

Postgres may be added some time in the future.  I don’t believe it is on the road map at this time.
