pitrery: Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) tools for PostgreSQL
===========================================================

WARNING : PITRERY IS IN MAINTENANCE-ONLY MODE
----------------------------------------------

After 10 years of development, pitrery's development status is now Long Term
Support (LTS). New features will no longer be added to Pitrery. We will
continue to develop bug fixes and security fixes if need be.

Pitrery supports PostgreSQL versions from 9 up to 14 but will not work on
PostgreSQL 15 and following because the backup API has evolved.

LTS period will end as of december 2026.

FEATURES
--------

pitrery is set of tools to ease the management of PITR backups and
restores:

- Management of WAL segments archiving with compression to a host
reachable with SSH or on the local machine

- Automation of the base backup procedure

- Restore to a particular date

- Management of backup retention

QUICK SETUP
-----------

1. Get the source

2. Edit the `config.mk`

3. Run `make` and `make install`

4. Run `pitrery configure -o pitrery -f [[user@]host:]/path/to/backups` (user@host being optional)

5. Configure WAL archiving (`archive_command = 'archive_wal %p'`) in PostgreSQL

6. Run `pitrery` to perform your backups and restores
