As database size and complexity grow, DBAs may face the fact that the functionality offered by built-in tools
such as pg_dump and pg_basebackup is insufficient, and more flexibility is required to create reliable backups
and manage them.
This talk cover various advanced topics in the area of backups:
- incremental backups;
- archive management;
- backup validation;
- retention policies;
etc.
Based on these features, we'll compare various backup/recovery solutions for PostgreSQL.
This information will help you to choose the most appropriate tool for your system.
