Just chiming in for pgbackrest - we are backing up multiple databases in
the 50TB - 150TB range across multiple customers and it works very well
(and most importantly at that scale, very efficiently).

I've found the team really responsive to issues / bugs / errors reported
via GitHub when we hit them, which is always a bonus.
