Pgbackrest Installation and configuration steps:

1- Installation
A new host named db-primary is created to contain the demo cluster and run
pgBackRest examples.
pgBackRest supports 32-bit distributions that build Perl with 64-bit integer
support.

1- db-primary ⇒ Check for 64-bit integers

$sudo -u postgres perl -V | grep USE_64_BIT_INT


USE_64_BIT_ALL USE_64_BIT_INT USE_ITHREADS

If pgBackRest has been installed before it's best to be sure that no prior copies
of it are still installed
2- db-primary ⇒ Remove prior pgBackRest installations

$sudo rm -f /usr/bin/pgbackrest
$sudo rm -f /usr/bin/pg_backrest
$sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/BackRest
$sudo rm -rf /usr/share/perl5/BackRest
$sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/pgBackRest
$sudo rm -rf /usr/share/perl5/pgBackRest

3- db-primary ⇒ Install required Perl packages


$sudo apt-get install libdbd-pg-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libxml-libxml-perl

4-db-primary ⇒ Download version 1.29 of pgBackRest


$sudo wget -q -O - \
https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest/archive/release/1.29.tar.gz | \
sudo tar zx -C /root

5-db-primary ⇒ Install pgBackRest


$sudo cp -r /root/pgbackrest-release-1.29/lib/pgBackRest \
/usr/share/perl5
$sudo find /usr/share/perl5/pgBackRest -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
$sudo find /usr/share/perl5/pgBackRest -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
$sudo cp /root/pgbackrest-release-1.29/bin/pgbackrest /usr/bin/pgbackrest
$sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/pgbackrest
$sudo mkdir -m 770 /var/log/pgbackrest
$sudo chown postgres:postgres /var/log/pgbackrest
$sudo touch /etc/pgbackrest.conf
$sudo chmod 640 /etc/pgbackrest.conf
$sudo chown postgres:postgres /etc/pgbackrest.conf

6- db-primary ⇒ Build and Install C Library


sudo sh -c 'cd /root/pgbackrest-release-1.29/libc && \
perl Makefile.PL INSTALLMAN1DIR=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none'
sudo make -C /root/pgbackrest-release-1.29/libc test
sudo make -C /root/pgbackrest-release-1.29/libc install
