Installation

A new host named pg-primary is created to contain the demo cluster and run pgBackRest examples.

Install from package

apt-get install pgbackrest

apt-get install pgbackrest

yum install pgbackrest

yum install pgbackrest

Update permissions on configuration file and directories

chown <br-install-user>:<br-install-group> /var/log/pgbackrest

chown <br-install-user>:<br-install-group> /etc/pgbackrest/pgbackrest.conf

pgBackRest should now be properly installed but it is best to check. If any dependencies were missed then you will get an error when running pgBackRest from the command line.

Make sure the installation worked
