Physical backups

URL: llms-txt#physical-backups

For full instance physical backups (which are especially useful for starting up new [replicas][replication-tutorial]), [pg_basebackup][postgres-pg_basebackup] works with all TimescaleDB installation types. You can also use any of several external backup and restore managers such as [pg_backrest][pg-backrest], or [barman][pg-barman]. For ongoing physical backups, you can use [wal-e][wale], although this method is now deprecated. These tools all allow you to take online, physical backups of your entire instance, and many offer incremental backups and other automation options.

Tiger Cloud is a fully managed service with automatic backup and restore, high availability with replication, seamless scaling and resizing, and much more. You can try Tiger Cloud free for thirty days.
