pg_rman ======= pg_rman is a backup and recovery manager for PostgreSQL servers able to do incremental, archive 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 incremental and archive backup facilities 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_rman. Installation ------------ Compiling pg_rman requires a PostgreSQL installation and can be done in two ways: 1. Put pg_rman project directory inside PostgreSQL source tree as contrib/pg_rman, and use "make" to compile or 2. Keep the project directory as-is and use the PGXS development infrastructure provided by a PostgreSQL installation to perform the compilation: "make USE_PGXS=1" In addition, you must have pg_config in $PATH. The current version of pg_rman is compatible with PostgreSQL 9.3 and upper versions. Platforms --------- pg_rman has been tested on Linux and Unix-based platforms. Documentation ------------- All the documentation is written and maintained in pg_rman.txt. Regression tests ---------------- The test suite of pg_rman is available in the code tree and can be launched in a way similar to common PostgreSQL extensions and modules: 1) "make check" or "make installcheck" if the project directory is located in PostgreSQL code tree. 2) "make installcheck" on an already installed server if project directory is kept as-is. License ------- pg_rman can be distributed under the PostgreSQL license. See COPYRIGHT file for more information.
