This blog takes a deep-dive into the most popular open source backup programs available for PostgreSQL, what their current state is, and how they compare to one another.
Restoring backups on newly deployed clusters can be time consuming. There are a number of procedures and checks to go through, and it is a task that lends itself to automation. This blog post shows you how to automate the entire process and deliver improvements in terms of speed, efficiency and cost.
Migrating ClusterControl to new hardware used to be a pain - you had to reinstall it on the new server, restore configuration/metadata from the old one and redo database grants so the new server can access your managed databases.

This blog shows you how to do this using the s9s CLI.
