If you did attend my talk about improving #PostgreSQL backup and restore capabilities with #pgBackRest at #FOSDEMPGDay, first of all: thank you for being there 🙏

The slides are available already 😎 https://pgstef.github.io/talks/en/20260130_FOSDEM-PGDay_pgBackRest-magic.pdf

🔔 New blog post on a #pgBackRest feature preview: simplifying manual expiration of oldest backups.

🔎 The new expire --oldest option makes it much easier to expire the oldest eligible full backup without adjusting retention settings. This addresses a long-standing usability gap when disk space is tight and removes the need for temporary retention changes or scripting.

👉 Full example and details: https://pgstef.github.io/2025/12/17/pgbackrest_preview_expire_oldest.html

📢 New blog post alert!
pgBackRest TLS server mode for a primary-standby setup with a repository host 🚀
I refreshed an older write-up after a chat with @devrimgunduz ✨

🔐 TLS server mode (no SSH)

Thanks Devrim for the nudge 🍻
And @dataegret for supporting my #pgBackRest work 🙏

🤔 Now I'm wondering if I should submit a talk proposal about it for #FOSDEM databases developer room 🤣

Don't miss the #PostgreSQL #Backups & #Replication course by @dataegret :postgresql:

Five live online sessions designed to take your PostgreSQL backup and replication knowledge to the next level.

You will spend some quality time with me. Do not worry, I am friendly and only slightly emotional about backups 🔥🧯🤣

Big secret (#sarcasm): the first part of the training will, of course, focus on #pgBackRest 🫢

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fosdempgday/115933923088950301

#pgBackRest is one of those tools that keeps surprising me, even after years of working with #PostgreSQL 🐘 Solid, flexible, and once you really get it, it completely changes how confident you feel about backups 🔒

If you’re around next week, come join us in #Brussels for #FOSDEMPGDay 🇧🇪

And if you can’t make it, pgBackRest is part of our next training level at @dataegret, where we share the patterns, gotchas, and real-world lessons we’ve learned along the way 👀

:postgresql: After premiering "Patroni and pgBackRest: better together" at the PostgreSQL Belgium meetup, I'm excited to bring it next week to @pgconfeu in Riga! 🇱🇻

Learn how to integrate pgBackRest into a Patroni-managed cluster, rebuild standby nodes from backups, and perform PITR under Patroni's control — with real-world examples and YAML snippets.

💙 Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of #pgBackRest, and I really enjoy speaking about it.

Next week I'm hosting a live session on one of its most underrated features: using multiple repositories for extra reliability. We'll also explore how async archiving makes it even more powerful.

📅 Join me next Wednesday, April 23, at 13:00 CEST for a deep dive into what makes pgBackRest such a flexible and robust tool.

:postgresql: Ever faced timeline issues during #PostgreSQL recovery? It's frustrating to complete a restore only to realize the timeline is invalid 😩

Good news! #pgBackRest's next release will help detect this problem earlier!

Free Coline Fay!

#ColineFay, a young French environmentalist and human rights activist, has been in prison for more than a month in Dakar, Senegal. Her crime? Attending a peaceful demonstration. The charges? "Association with terrorists; complicity against the authority of the state, acts or manoeuvres of a nature to compromise the security of the state". For this, she faces life imprisonment. She will spend Christmas away from home, in a cell with 35 more women.
Coline was arrested the 17th of November, after attending a peaceful protest to defend Ousmane Sonko's right to stand for election and to denounce the criminalisation of his political party, #Pastef. The demonstration was held in defence of democracy and justice in Senegal and of social and environmental struggles, which Pastef defends.

What is the French government doing to protect the human rights of a French citizen abroad? Nothing.

What can YOU do to help?
1. Sign and share the petition for Coline's release: https://chng.it/Z2pZPYDmmF
2. Follow @coline_free and share the posts.
3. Email [email protected] to ask what can you do to join the campaign for her liberation.
4. Join the rally at Grenoble today at 13:00 local time
