Backup Level in PITR

When using PITR mode, depending on the Job level, the PostgreSQL Plugin will do the following:

• For a Full backup, the Plugin will backup the data directory and all WAL files generated during the backup.

• During an Incremental backup, the Plugin will force the switch of the current WAL, and will backup WAL files generated since the previous backup.

• During a Differential backup, the Plugin will backup data files that changed since the latest Full backup, and it will backup WAL files generated during the backup.

Note

It is not possible to run two concurrent Full or Differential jobs at the same time.
