Over and over, you'll hear the need to have a plan in place for backing up your PostgreSQL databases. However, this truly has things completely backwards. The most important thing is not your ability to backup a database. Instead, your most important ability will be to restore a database. This session will explore the concepts that will enable you to create a viable restore plan for your PostgreSQL databases. We'll cover concepts like the Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective and how they help you, with your business, to define a PostgreSQL recovery plan. Once you have a recovery plan, building a database backup plan is simple. One of the most important things you'll ever do is successfully restore a database in an emergency. This session will help you prepare for that moment.
