Hi all.

 

Is it possible to backup PostgreSQL via a Windows cluster?

 

The scenario is, that a team wants to install PostgreSQL on two Windows servers running a Windows cluster with shared disks, like you do with MSSQL. They want to put the log and data on a shared drive that runs on the active server and this drive can fail over to the passive node. 

 

Is this scenario even possible to backup or is only possible with the PostgreSQL cluster client (pseudo-client) with a master and a standby server?

 

Regards

-Anders

You can create a cluster virtual client and use PostgreSQL agent to backup the cluster. Same way how we do for MSSQL.

No need to go for Postgres pseudo client, this is for application clusters like Patroni and RepMgr.

 

Thanks,

Hi Sunil.

 

So I should be able to add the PostgreSQL agent under Cluster Group Configuration on the cluster instance (Client computer propertise → Advanced propertise)?
