There was some recent uncertainty about pgBackRest getting discontinued due to lack of funding. But the maintainer secured funding, and pgBackRest development will continue.
replyCan't recommend pgbackrest enough. It's fantastic software, and I love the work they put into doing inter-file deltas for backups (so if 8kb of a 1gb file changes, you only backup the difference). It saved my last company a ton of money on storage while keeping good RTO/RPO.
replyIt's great, but it's not incremental like git, e.g. you do need to make a full backup periodically, unfortunately.
replyI didn't understand that, and after 5 months of usage caught my backblaze to be using 40TB, and nightly restores taking forever for other reasons. So: not ideal, and be careful to check!
Heh, yeah I suppose there are still some foot guns if you don't understand how things work.
