Step overview

Description and reference

Deploy NetBackup to protect PostgreSQL instances and databases.

On a very high level to protect PostgreSQL instances and databases you need:

  • NetBackup primary server

  • NetBackup media server (Recommended)

  • NetBackup client that can act as a backup machine

PostgreSQL installed bin directory path should be added to path environment variable.

Verify if PostgreSQL installation bin path is set in environment variable. For Example:

  • For Windows :   PATH = C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\bin

  • For Linux :  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/pgsql-13/bin
