I'm looking at setting up a replication system for a number of disparate postgresql databases (multiple databases on multiple machines). Mostly I just want ease of backups without taking down the live databases. Failover isn't a concern at the moment.<br>
<br>
I've looked around and am less sure of what would be the ideal than when I started e.g. a number of the tools on this page link to websites that are down or don't seem to exist anymore.. <a href="http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling" target="_blank">http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling</a><br>
<br>
I was thinking pgcluster or slony-1 initially, but both sites are out of commission. Checking on pgforge it looks like slony-1 last had a release in 2006. But pgcluster seems like it requires a modified build of postgresql.<br>
<br>
So Bucardo is at the top of my list now, but documentation seems a bit scarce. They do have a git repository with active development though..<br>
<br>
Anyone have thoughts about postgresql replication (backup slaves specifically) that they might be willing to share?<br>
