NetVault Plug-in for PostgreSQL 12.3.1 - User Guide

Introducing NetVault Backup Plug-in for PostgreSQL Installing and removing the plug-in Configuring the plug-in Backing up data Restoring data Troubleshooting

Reviewing the recommended configuration

While you can set up a single machine as both the NetVault Backup Server and the PostgreSQL Server, that is, all software installation and configuration requirements are performed on a single machine, Quest recommends that these two entities exist on separate machines.

Installed software and configuration

Installed software and configuration

•
PostgreSQL software, version 9.4 or later)
•
NetVault Backup Server or Client software
•
NetVault Backup Plug‑in for PostgreSQL
•
NetVault Backup Server software
•
PostgreSQL Server added as a NetVault Backup Client — for complete details on adding a Client to the NetVault Backup Server, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Regardless of the configuration that you use, that is, separate NetVault Backup Server and PostgreSQL Server, vs. a single machine configured as both, the plug-in must be installed on the host on which PostgreSQL resides.

Sample procedures throughout this guide assume that you are using this two-machine environment and that configuration requirements have been met.

Installing or upgrading the plug-in

1
Access the NetVault Configuration Wizard or Manage Clients page.
 
* 
NOTE: If the selected clients are all the same type, you can use the configuration wizard to install the plug-in on multiple clients at the same time. When you select multiple clients, verify that the plug-in binary file is compatible with the OS and platforms of the target clients. From the Manage Clients page, you can only select one client for plug-in installation.
