Hello Bostjan

We plan to support PostgreSQL v17 (GA - September 2024) in the upcoming version 12.3, which is scheduled for release in Q4 2024.

Thank you,
Fabian

Thanks Fabian for the answer.
PostgreSQL included tools for backups are quite basic. They added differental backups to the 17th version.
What's the pros and cons having backups of PostgreSQL servers with VEEAM vs. native backups tools? I am currently in situation where I need to recommend customer a solution for PostgreSQL backup (why Veeam would be the best candidate for it vs builtin tools for backup).
