This EnterpriseDB presentation reviews backup and recovery best practices and the following helpful features in EnterpriseDB’s Backup and Recovery Tool (BART) and more: Retention Policies: Control which backups are retained and for how long Disk space awareness: Ensures you don’t start a backup if there’s not enough disk space. Friendly backup names: Support for naming rules to make it easy to identify backups.

• Define global parameters including
− backup path
− retention policy
− log files
− xlog-method
• Manage local and remote databases
• Define defaults for each server
− friendly backup names
− remote hosts for recovery
− archive commands to support PITR
− WAL compression
