Backup-Infrastructure with pgBackRest (froscon2026)

This talk provides an overview of building reliable and scalable backup infrastructures with pgBackRest for modern PostgreSQL environments. This talk provides an overview of building reliable and scalable backup infrastructures with pgBackRest for modern PostgreSQL environments. We will explore different backup architecture patterns, ranging from single-node deployments using DAS, SAN, or NAS storage to more advanced setups with dedicated repository hosts using SSH, TLS, S3, or Networker integrations. In addition, the session covers backup strategies for PostgreSQL replication clusters and discusses how centralized repository hosts can improve security, scalability, and operational flexibility. The talk focuses on practical infrastructure designs, operational best practices, and real-world considerations for building resilient PostgreSQL backup solutions.
