Hello Ben, we've included and adapted the source code of the pgsql plugin into our repository but we do not support it. That is one of the reasons, why there are no packages.
We have a PGSQL support on our "long-term" list and we also have ideas to replace the existing code by a Python plugin, which makes use of the Postgres backup interface, an outline is here: https://www.bareos.org/en/ideas-for-projects.html However, don't expect that there will be much progress in the next time regarding PGSQL, unless - someone from the community picks up that subject or - someone funds further development Another option is to talk about consultancy for Postgres backups with our partners or Bareos. Just let me know, if you are open for one of those options.
