Quick question: I have installed PG 8.2.x on a customer's system and we will be storing a lot of critical data on it.
Itneeds to be backed up maybe twice a day. It's very easy to back data up with the pgadmin tool (great tool btw) but
weneed an automated solution that we can configure. This is all running on a Windows 2003 server. Any suggestions?
We'reperfectly open to commercial or non-commercial solutions.
Ideally this should be able to do a hot backup, where it gets a valid snapshot even as the server is running. I don't
knowthat, in these days of super-cheap disks, we need to worry about incremental backup. If the entire dataset is 1gb
(whichit isn't) then a large current hard drive can hold a full years worth of dumps, so incremental backup doesn't
seemrelevant.
Btw, this pgadmin was pretty cool. I've only ever used PG on Linux until now and I had never seen a tool like that. I
wasimpressed with how easy it was to install PG, get it running, and then use this pgadmin tool to control everything.
AndI'm a total newbie on Windows. This was the first time I have ever looked at Windows 2003 Server.
