Re: PgbackRest and EDB Query

Hi,

Your query:
1. Is it possible to use PgBackrest with EnterpriseDB(EDB -16) for the
backup and recovery process? Or pgback works only with the community
PostgreSQL database ?

Answer: Yes, you can use pgBackRest with EPAS-16 (EDB Postgres Advanced
Server); it is fully supported. You can find two use cases provided on the
EDB official documentation website, detailing both scenarios: pgBackRest
running locally or on a dedicated remote server. The following links are
given for more information:
