Backup Repository(ies) Configuration via PgSmart Web

The Backup Repository is essentially a copy of the instance directory (PGDATA) along with the transactional logs (which ensure the consistency of backups). More than one repository can be used for each backup, and these can be "distributed" across other servers.

Prerequisites

In this option, you can define the location where the following will be stored:

  • the backup metadata,
  • the backups themselves, and
