Обсуждение: PostgreSQL Backup Booklet
Hey! So, Packt approached me a few months ago and asked me to put together a very basic series of short step-by-step instructions on backing up PostgreSQL. The title is "Instant PostgreSQL Backup and Restore How-to." I tried to cover all of the basic approaches used by most admins, and I tested it on a guy at work who's a SQL Server DBA but recently took over care and feeding of a PG database. He said it was easier to understand than the documentation, at least for just getting everything working and sorting out more advanced details later. I know it's not exactly Greg Smith's performance book, but I'm glad to contribute how I can. I'm not entirely sure it's worth adding to the book page: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/books/ But if it is, I'll provide any help or extra information necessary. If anyone has questions, I'm here to answer them. :) -- Shaun Thomas OptionsHouse | 141 W.

Based on Amazon reviews and others in the PG community, I would 100% get something like this. High Availability / Fail Over are my biggest concerns with PostgreSQL Database.
Thanks so much for sharing and good luck!!!

Also, Packt has a deal on their site where if you buy 2 ebooks, you get them both for half off. This one seems to qualify, so I Was able to get it for $3, while also getting another book I've been wanting for half what I was expecting to pay.
Hooray!
