Common Backup & Recovery Pitfalls

While PostgreSQL offers a wide range of options and facilities for backup and recovery, there are some common mistakes and pitfalls to watch out for. Some of these include:

Not Performing Regular Recovery Tests: Regularly testing your recovery procedures is essential to ensure that backups can be restored when needed.
Using Backup Dumps that Run Too Long: Long-running backups can put the database under heavy load, impacting performance and leading to incomplete backups.
Not Recovering in a Timely Manner: If the backup loading process or establishing a recovery environment takes too long, it can severely impact business operations.
Insufficient Bandwidth: Lack of adequate bandwidth can delay the backup process, resulting in outdated backups or in not being able to recover in a timely manner.
Undefined RTO and RPO Requirements: Without clear Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO), it is challenging to design an effective backup strategy.

Our seasoned consultants will help you avoid these and other pitfalls when designing and implementing your backup and recovery strategy.

Backup as Your Business Grows

As your business grows, so do the challenges related to PostgreSQL backup and recovery. Here are some typical challenges and considerations:

Changing RPO and RTO Requirements: As data loss becomes more critical, the need for shorter Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) increases, necessitating faster and more reliable backup solutions.
Increased Data Volumes: Growing data volumes can make regular database dumps using tools like pg_dump impractical. Advanced solutions like incremental backups and continuous archiving become necessary.
Critical Data Importance: As data becomes vital to business survival, having a robust and efficient backup and recovery strategy is paramount. Data that were initially non-critical may evolve to become essential for business continuity. The backup strategy should be updated to reflect this.
