pg_arman
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
pg_arman is a backup and recovery manager for PostgreSQL servers able to do
|
|
differential and full backup as well as restore a cluster to a
|
|
state defined by a given recovery target. It is designed to perform
|
|
periodic backups of an existing PostgreSQL server, combined with WAL
|
|
archives to provide a way to recover a server in case of failure of
|
|
server because of a reason or another. Its differential backup
|
|
facility reduces the amount of data necessary to be taken between
|
|
two consecutive backups.

Download
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The latest version of this software can be found on the project website at
|
|
https://github.com/michaelpq/pg_arman.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Compiling pg_arman requires a PostgreSQL installation to be in place
|
|
as well as a raw source tree. Pass the path to the PostgreSQL source tree
|
|
to make, in the top_srcdir variable:
|
|
|
|
make USE_PGXS=1 top_srcdir=<path to PostgreSQL source tree>
|
|
|
|
In addition, you must have pg_config in $PATH.
|
|
|
|
The current version of pg_arman is compatible with PostgreSQL 9.5 and
|
|
upper versions.
|
|
|
|
Platforms
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
pg_arman has been tested on Linux and Unix-based platforms.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
All the documentation is maintained in doc/ as text file, that is then
|
|
fetched by asciidoc to generate automatically man pages and html
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
In order to generate the documentation, the variables XMLTO and ASCIIDOC
|
|
need to be set to proper values indicating where are located the binaries
|
|
of respectively xmlto and asciidoc. An example of build is as follows:
|
|
|
|
make top_srcdir=<path to PostgreSQL source tree> \
|
|
ASCIIDOC=asciidoc XMLTO=xmlto
|
|
|
|
They could as well be set as environment variables for development
|
|
purposes.
|
|
|
|
On OSX, it is necessary to set XML_CATALOG_FILES to point to the correct
|
|
xml catalogs. In the case of an environment with Homebrew after having
|
|
install xmlto and asciidoc:
|
|
|
|
export XML_CATALOG_FILES="/usr/local/etc/xml/catalog"
|
|
|
|
Regression tests
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The test suite of pg_arman is available in the code tree and can be
|
|
launched in a way similar to common PostgreSQL extensions and modules:
|
|
|
|
make installcheck
|
