Asked by dimitry_lzs
Hi, as I was looking into different ways of improving reliability and security of data stored in our database, I examined ways to set backups via integration with SnapShooter, however, I want to take advantage of PostgreSQL’s WAL file to be able to recover database in case of critical corruption, up to the last valid transaction to ensure data integrity and avoid any losses.
Any suggestions how to get started?
