Hi,
I have a 10TB database running on postgres 11 version running on centos 7 "on premises", I need to schedule the backup of this database in a faster way.
The scheduled backup will be used for PITR purposes.
So please let me know how I should do it in a quicker backup for my 10TB database ? Is there any tool to take backups and subsequently incremental backups in a faster way and restore it for PITR in a faster way when required.
What should be the exact approach for scheduling such backups so that it can be restored in a faster way ?
Well, that depends on your configuration details. Is your DB located on a SAN device or JBOD? If it's SAN, than it can do snapshots. All enterprise backup utilities like NetBackup, TSM, Avamar or Commvault support snapshots. They all can do full and incremental backups and they can also do PITR. Your database is an enterprise sized database and needs an enterprise level tool. If you want a freebie, pgbackrest is the best thing no money can buy. Pgbackrest supports parallelism, full and incremental backups.
