Barman Cloud – Part 1: WAL Archive

January 27, 2020/5 Comments/in 2ndQuadrant, Barman, DevOps, Featured, Jonathan's PlanetPostgreSQL, PostgreSQL /by Jonathan Battiato

Preamble How many current Barman users have thought about saving backups in a remote destination in the cloud?

Barman 2.10 – Recovery of partial WAL files

PG Phriday: Adventures in BAR Management

January 19, 2018/0 Comments/in Shaun's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Shaun Thomas

Backups are a critical component to a fully covered Postgres database infrastructure.
