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)

🐧 Step-by-step on AlmaLinux 10

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 🫢

#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 👀

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fosdempgday/115932039663146482

Are you coming to #FOSDEM in #Brussels next week?

As there's no #PostgreSQL devroom this year, have you considered joining for #FOSDEMPGDay on Friday January 30?

It's probably one of the best moment to approach the people behind the PostgreSQL project, as so many hackers will be there and even share their experience on stage!

Don't over-think it and... join us! 🫵

See you there 🖤 💛 ❤️
