Hi Bob,
Thanks for continuing working on this discussion, I hope you are not
tired:)
The discussion has been good.
As discuss with you about a long mail loop and discuss with Dan, I
summarize my opinion of backup solution scope:
1. Provide user a instructions to backup the entire repo as you
suggested:
stop scheduler
pg_dumpall > myfile
backup myfile
backup repo gold, files, and license
start scheduler
Suggest user if you have enough disk space, we recommend user to use
this backup solution. And I suggest we also list approximately
backup and restore time will cost in the instructions, in order to
give user to tradeoff.
2. I see your comments about how to make the repo significantly
smaller, I am absolutely agree with your opinion. We should select
which files we should save and which files we should not save but
now in the repository. I consider this should also add to the backup
scope, what do you think?
Yes, this adds to the backup scope. So I think this should be the
third priority of these three.
3. We should also provide a only backup gold files solution if user
don't have enough disk space or don't want to backup entire repo.
This need more code changes, so I am now working on investigate all
the code changes we need to implement the gold file backup.
Looks good to me.
