Create Backup Set

Backup Requirements

Please ensure that the following requirements are met by the PostgreSQL server.

  1. PostgreSQL server is installed on this computer.
  2. PostgreSQL Server Add-On Module: Make sure that the PostgreSQL Server add-on module is enabled for your %edition_name% user account.
  3. Backup Quota Requirement: Make sure that your %edition_name% user account has sufficient storage quota assigned to accommodate the storage of PostgreSQL database backup set and retention policy.
  4. Java Heap Size: The default Java heap size setting on %edition_name% is 2048MB. It is highly recommended to increase the Java heap size setting to a higher value to improve backup and restore performance.
    The actual heap size is dependent on the amount of free memory available on your PostgreSQL server.
