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.

https://fwd.app/docs/enterprise/getting_started/configure_collection/external_sources/

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