Thread: Backup WAL Replication Server
Hello, at the moment we use a Postgres Server as Master and one as Hot-Standby. The Database is around 50GB and will massive grow next time. Backup and Restore with pg_dump take several hours, is there a faster way to do this? Regards, Basti

Everything is here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/backup.html Roughly, taking periodic base backups and maintaining WAL archives is the way to go. Regards -- Michael

Where does pg_backup create an output file? (the same server/file system, network partition, the same and then scp to another server, something else) What is the file system utilization for the partition where you keep your data with and without pg_backup?
