What is Backup Recovery Tools: pg_basebackup?
pg_basebackup is a utility for creating a physical backup of a PostgreSQL database cluster. It generates a consistent backup of the entire database cluster by copying data files while ensuring write operations do not interfere. Typically used for setting up streaming replication or disaster recovery, pg_basebackup can be run in parallel mode to speed up the process and can output backups in tar format or as a plain directory. It ensures minimal disruption to database operations during the backup process.
