pgpro_bindump is a module designed to implement additional commands for the Postgres Pro Enterprise replication protocol, specifically for use with the pg_probackup3 utility. pgpro_bindump offers the following benefits:
Simplified communication: pgpro_bindump does not require the SSH protocol and associated configurations to connect to a database server.
Integrated WAL transfer: WAL files are transferred together with data files, reducing the risk of data loss during backups.
Optimized storage: Files are not copied as they are, but are archived
using the pg_probackup3 own format,
CBOR (RFC 8949 Concise Binary Object Representation),
which enhances the storage efficiency.
