Hidden gems of WAL-G backup tool
Friday, October 25 at 11:50–12:40
The typical workflow of any backup solution is relatively straightforward: set up a point-in-time recovery archive, create a backup rotation schedule, and verify the restoration process from time to time. However, WAL-G provides some useful features that can be useful for database administrators in a stormy situation: 1. Performance adjustments to modify the usual "cheap backups - fast restores" mode. 2. Advanced consistency monitoring capabilities to ensure that backups are accurate. 3. Quick standby catch-up and other high availability cluster features. 4. Various methods to extract a changeset for incremental backups. Additionally, I will discuss the future roadmap, including consistent backups for sharded clusters and the use of advanced S3 capabilities.
