pgBackRest dedicated backup host
As I mentioned in my last blog post, as your cluster grows with multiple standby servers and potentially automated failover (using tools like Patroni), it becomes more practical to set up a dedicated repository host, also known as a dedicated backup server. This backup server can then trigger backups and automatically select the appropriate node in case of failover, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
In this post, I’ll show you how easy it is to add a repository host to an existing cluster. I’ll also give you a sneak peek at a new feature expected to be included in the next pgBackRest release 😉
