Re: Doubts about replication.. - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

If you want to reduce the amount of data lost, you might want to consider another type of backup : https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/continuous-archiving.html

That awsome tool can also help you with it : https://pgbackrest.org/

Yes, you are right, the replication is not  a backup ;)  , actually   i backup  database  daily at  3:00 am but if database crash,  the amount  of data is  big!  that is the reason i want to  replicate to reduce  the data loss. By the way  a few days ago a job partner did a delete with no where.

I will use replication as simple backup.

please keep in mind, replication is not a backup. All logical errors on the master (delete from table and forgot the where-condition) will replicated to the standby.
