Hi hackers,
Starting with PostgreSQL 17, pg_basebackup supports incremental
backups. However, the pg_stat_progress_basebackup view doesn't
currently show the backup type (i.e., whether it's a full or
incremental backup).
Therefore, I propose adding a backup_type column to this view. While
this information is available in pg_stat_activity, the backup type is
important for monitoring the progress of pg_basebackup, and including
it directly in the progress view would be very useful.
Thoughts?
