I am currently using the pg_hotbackup Perl script to backup my production PostgreSQL database. However, the next production database is going to be close to a terrabyte in size. We feel that a tar cvzf command is not the correct OS backup solution to use. Instead we would like to use lvmsnapshot. Is anyone using the pg_hotbackup script but instead of the tar cvzf OS command are they using lvmsnapshot?
Or, is anyone using lvmsnapshot and doing point-in-time recoveries? Thanks, Sandra Arnold Sr. Database Administrator DOE/OSTI Oak Ridge, TN
