Hi there:
Are there any nice (official or third party) backup utilities for postgres? I
have a database which is several GB, so pg_dumping it to file and then
bzipping2 every hour is not really the way to go. I've read a little about
using WAL for incremental backup, but it sounds a little complicated and
*very* user-error prone.
(Not sure if this is the right place for it, but i really think that PG's
developers should consider including a viable backup utility in the next
version)
thanks.
