Hello All,
I have very recently inherited an 18 TB DB that is running version 9.2. Apparently this database has never been backed up and I have been tasked to set in a periodic backup routine (weekly full & daily incremental) and dump it into a NAS. What is the best way to go about this? Did some reading and hear that pgbackrest does a good job with such huge sizes. Your expert advise is needed. 


Just chiming in for pgbackrest - we are backing up multiple databases in the 50TB - 150TB range across multiple customers and it works very well (and most importantly at that scale, very efficiently).

I've found the team really responsive to issues / bugs / errors reported via GitHub when we hit them, which is always a bonus.
