Build
Installing pgBackRest from a package is preferable to building from source. See Installation for more information about packages.
When building from source it is best to use a build host rather than building on production. Many of the tools required for the build should generally not be installed in production. pgBackRest consists of a single executable so it is easy to copy to a new host once it is built.
