Hello All,
I have very recently inherited an 18 TB DB that is running version 9.2.
Apparently this database has never been backed up and I have been tasked to
set in a periodic backup routine (weekly full & daily incremental) and dump
it into a NAS. What is the best way to go about this? Did some reading and
hear that pgbackrest does a good job with such huge sizes. Your expert
advise is needed.
