#22Wow, this is pretty surprising, I was under the impression that this is the leading PG backup/recovery tool.
Anybody know how WAL-G and Barman compare?

#23So sad to see this happening..
I had just last year prepared a detailed guide for reliable postgre backups to local volume as well as cloud storage, using pgBackRest, for my own projects.. pgBackRest have worked so well for me

#24I have recently configured pgbackrest for our app. :(
Re: Pgbackrest is no longer being maintained
#25I have a moderately sized 2TB production database I have enjoyed using pgBackRest on, and was—this week—going to set it up on another 8TB database we have.
What's the next-closest thing? wal-g? barman? databasus? I only get to cosplay as a DBA.

#26Waiting for all the C-level execs saying that "anyway this is not needed, we're going to vibe-code a solution to our production database backups" lol
Only for their AI to delete the production database and all the backups, and be forced to write an apology.

#28Wow!
pgbackrest was definitely the premier backup solution for postgres when I last looked at the ecosystem properly.
It was the only solution that seemed to take restoring and validating as seriously as “taking a backup” which lead to an unfortunate situation with my employer. (details here: https://blog.dijit.sh/that-time-my-manager-spend-1m-on-a-bac...)
This is really a major loss. :(

#29Mentioned this on X but CockroachDB should sponsor this - their audience is Postgres people and open source contributions can be great marketing.

I really wish projects like this didn't fall through the cracks and continued to be funded. The struggles of OSS are too real.
