PostgreSQL

You can use the Commvault software to back up and restore PostgreSQL databases.

Backups

Data You Can Back Up

  • Database

  • Transaction logs (with FSBasedBackupSet)

Backups You Can Perform

  • Full backups

  • Incremental backups (transaction log backups with FSBasedBackupSet)

When You Can Perform Backups

  • On a schedule: The server plan that you assign manages scheduled backups

  • On demand: You can perform on-demand backups at any time

Restores

Data You Can Restore

  • Entire instance: The database and the log files using FSBasedBackupSet

  • Individual databases, schema and tables: Using DumpBasedBackupSet

Backups You Can Use for Restores

  • The most recent backup: For example, restore the most recent backup to its original location

  • A backup from a specific date: For example, restore data to a point in time before it became unusable

  • Backups from a date range: For example, restore data that was accidentally deleted

Destinations You Can Restore To

  • The current location (in place)

  • A different server or instance (out of place)
