 Another option you can evaluate is the usage of backup catalogues,
 retention policies and archiving of Barman (www.pgbarman.org). We use it
 in some contexts with Tivoli (currently only through file system backup,
 but I guess that's what you do anyway).

 However, the approach is totally different and is based on physical
 backups and continuous archiving, allowing you to perform point in time
 recovery as well.

 Maybe it is worth evaluating it.

 Cheers,
 Gabriele
