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. :)

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!!!

Is there plans for e-book edition?

I believe there already is one. Packt sells it directly, and it's also
listed on Amazon. Way cheaper than the print version, I think. About
five bucks, as opposed to 20.

Just got it from Packt for $5.09.
Amazon has only paperback edition.

Thank you,

Not sure why it's not showing up with the paperback, but the Kindle edition:

http://www.amazon.com/Instant-PostgreSQL-Backup-Restore-ebook/dp/B00C26J204

I've never ordered a kindle eBook since I prefer epub, but there ya go.
Maybe it takes a while to associate them.

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!
