pitrery is a set of Bash scripts to manage PITR backups for PostgreSQL.
pitrery automates Continuous Archiving and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) as much as possible with the following goals:
- Handle only PITR. log-shipping and replication are out of scope
- Be as minimally intrusive as possible for archiving
It is free software licensed under the PostgreSQL License and works with all supported versions of PostgreSQL.
This new version adds some new features and improvements:
-
Restrict permissions of backup directories to the user that created them
-
Add options to the check action to verify backup policy and archived WAL files, optionnaly usable with Nagios
-
Add RSYNC_WHOLEFILE and RSYNC_BWLIMIT configuration options to tweak the behaviour of rsync when performing base backups.
-
Some bugfixes
Feedback & contributions are welcome.
