Getting ready

This recipe builds upon the previous recipe, Standalone hot physical database backup. You should read that before following this recipe.

Before starting, you need to decide a few things:

  • Where will you store the WAL files (known as the archive)?
  • How will you send WAL files to the archive?
  • Where will you store your base backups?
  • How will you take base backups?
  • How many backups (also known as retention policies) will you keep?
  • What is your policy for maintaining the archive?

These are hard questions to answer immediately. So, we will give a practical example as a way of explaining how this works, and then let you decide how you would like it to operate.
