NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

For incremental backups for Azure PostgreSQL

  • You can protect Azure PostgreSQL sever assets with a protection plan and policy. You can use full and differential incremental schedules.

  • Always set the wal_level server parameter as logical.

  • The backup user must be an admin user.

  • The backup user must have the CREATEROLE and REPLICATION permissions.

  • To backup tables of other users, the tables must have the primary key.

  • Intelligent groups are supported.

  • Replica server databases are not supported for full and incremental backups.

  • Large object data type is not supported for incremental backups.

  • Incremental backup with the bytea_output server parameter with an escape value is not supported.

  • Azure SMI and UMI are not supported for incremental backups.

  • The last value of the sequence generator may not be consistent after restore of an incremental backup.

  • To rename a database, do the following:

    • Note the name of the replication slot created for the database.

      SELECT slot_name FROM pg_replication_slots WHERE database = <database name that needs to be renamed>

    • Drop the replication slot after renaming the database.

      SELECT pg_drop_replication_slot('<replication slot name>')
