Restore

Postgres configures archive_command and archive_mode=always. Morever, during the restore the restore_command is set.

There are two options to restore a backup:

  • Restore a backup on the existing datastore
  • Restore a backup on a new datastore

Please note that restoring a backup may be a long running process.

Restore a backup on the existing datastore​

This option allows to restore a backup with point in time recovery. The WAL logs are replayed until the desired PITR. Warning! Running several restores may change the timelines.

Restore a backup on a new datastore​

This option allows to restore a backup on a new datastore. This option does not currently support PITR.
