Question

Consistent PostgreSQL Backups using K10


I did a research for consistent PostgreSQL backups with Kasten K10 and found:

https://docs.kasten.io/latest/kanister/postgresql/install_app_cons.html

Application Consistent PostgreSQL Backup

You described there to use a Kanister pre-hook (“pg_start_backup”) and post-hook (“pg_stop_backup”).

 

Afaik, that alone will not create a consistent backup. You also need any generated archived WAL file between. Archiving must be enabled (archive_mode=on), archived WAL files must be backuped too, therefore.

 

I did not find anything about how to backup archived WAL files. How will you handle them?

 

Thanks, Markus
