I am trying pgbackrest(2.52.1) with postgresql( version 16) on a lab setup on RHEL-9. Both PostgreSQL server and a remote Repository host configured with pgbackrest and everything working fine as specified in the documentation.
note: here I am running postgres server and pgbackrest everything as postgres user and no issues in backup and recovery.
Query
1. Is it possible to use PgBackrest with EnterpriseDB(EDB -16) for the backup and recovery process? Or pgback works only with the community PostgreSQL database ?
It support both community PG and EDB PG.
[ when I ran initdb script of EDB while installing EDB it creates the enterpisedb as user and edb as initial database by the script. ]
Enterprisedb is the default user created by EDB.
when I try to create the stanza on the EDB server it throws error (pasted at bottom ).
NOTE:
I know that my EDB running on port 5444 instead of 5432 and the dbname = edb instead of postgres, and user as enterpisedb instead of postgres how to specify these changes in the stanza creation step if EDB Supports pgbackrest tool ?
You can enter this connection information in the PbBackRest Conf file for the stanza you create for your EDB Instance.
OR Am I doing a waste exercise [if pgbackrest won't go ahead with EDB ] ?
Any hints much appreciated.
Thank you,
Krishane
