pgBackRest Support for PostgreSQL Backups
NetBackup now supports backups using the pgBackRest utility - an open-source tool that offers enhanced capabilities compared to the traditional pg_basebackup utility.
Key Benefits:
Creates physical backups with advanced features such as compression, encryption, and parallel processing.
Supports initial database copy for streaming replication using an existing backup.
Enables standby rebuilds using the delta restore option.
