Postgres Professional, the developer of the Postgres Pro DBMS, has released an update for the pg_probackup utility – an application for backing up and restoring database clusters. The new version 2.8.2 includes several important changes:
- fixed a parsing error for oid, which prevented databases and tablespaces with relfilenode greater than one billion from being included in the backup;
- fixed an error in enabling the pg_probackup log using the –log-level-file parameter, where the configured value was written to the configuration file, but the directory for log files was not created.
pg_probackup – is an embedded application of the Postgres Pro Enterprise DBMS. The utility offers the highest backup creation speed among other backup solutions for PostgreSQL and its forks, thanks to its ability to create incremental backups at the page level.
Important! Users who were using pg_probackup versions 2.8.0 or 2.8.1 and earlier to create backups need to update the utility to version 2.8.2 or higher, after which a new full backup must be created, as backups created based on versions 2.8.0 and 2.8.1 may be incorrect.
