with Oracle we use "backup archivelog all delete all input".

this is a kind of atomic transaction.

everything backuped for sure is deleted.

 

with Postgres we archive to a local host directory

we do a Networker backup of this directory afterwards and delete the archived logs

but this is not an atomic transaction

so there is a small risk that something gets deleted which is not backuped

 

how to you prevent this?

 

Is there any backup tool which can do backups analogous Oracle?
