pgBackRest in HA setups: deployment patterns that work
Tuesday, April 21 at 09:10–09:55
Having a solid recovery plan is essential, because in a real outage, just having a backup is not enough.
pgBackRest is a powerful and flexible backup tool that can fit many different setups: using a dedicated backup host, taking backups from standby servers, or sending data straight to the cloud with S3, Azure, or Google Cloud. Yet many users rely on only one of these options and miss out on what pgBackRest can really do.
In this talk, we'll go beyond the basics and look at several pgBackRest deployment patterns that can be combined for better resilience, performance, and cost efficiency. We'll discuss setups that mix backup hosts and cloud storage, make use of multiple standbys, and keep things running smoothly in High-Availability environments.
Based on real-world experience deploying this "undocumented magical solution" in highly critical systems, this session will show you how to make the most of pgBackRest’s flexibility and design a resilient backup setup that fits your HA environment perfectly.
