Restore PostgreSQL Application Items?

Post by perjonsson1960 »

Folks,

We have just made our first test backup of a Windows 2019 server with PostgreSQL databases, with Application Aware.
In the PostgreSQL tab we chose a user with superuser privileges (local admin account), and chose "Database user with password".
Everything went well in the backup job, but when we rightclick on the backup, there is no "Restore application items" in the menu, only "Restore guest files".

We are running B&R v12.0, Enterprise Plus. Are we doing something fundamentally wrong?

Kind regards,
PJ

Hello,

Is it still true in B&R v12.3 that PostgreSQL instances are only supported on Linux?

Hello Per

Yes, if you are talking about application aware processing of PostgreSQL, it's still a linux only feature.
But we are considering to add support for windows machines as well. But no ETA to share.
Your vote is counted.

Hi Fabian

So based on you'r answer: How do you recommend protecting Enterprise Manager database on remote PostgreSQL (Windows server)?
