It is not required to stop services before backup #1767

Closed jrafanie closed 9 months ago

jrafanie commented 9 months ago

pg_basebackup docs even describe taking online backups and even concurrent backups. Perhaps this was a requirement at one time but is no longer needed.

I thought we were using pg_dump, not pg_basebackup. If it's the former, does that change your original statement?

We recommend both. They're both supported and have different use cases. We're actually advising here to use pg_basebackup for one time backups and pg_dump for scheduled backups a bit further down.

Neither one requires the services be shut down to run a backup/dump.
