    <!-- SECTION => INTRODUCTION -->
    <section id="introduction">
        <title>Introduction</title>

        <p>This user guide is intended to be followed sequentially from beginning to end &amp;mdash; each section depends on the last.  For example, the <link section="/backup">Backup</link> section relies on setup that is performed in the <link section="/quickstart">Quick Start</link> section.  Once <backrest/> is up and running then skipping around is possible but following the user guide in order is recommended the first time through.</p>

        <p>Although the examples are targeted at {[user-guide-os]} and <postgres/> {[pg-version]}, it should be fairly easy to apply this guide to any Unix distribution and <postgres/> version. The only OS-specific commands are those to create, start, stop, and drop <postgres/> clusters.  The <backrest/> commands will be the same on any Unix system though the locations to install Perl libraries and executables may vary.

        Configuration information and documentation for PostgreSQL can be found in the <postgres/> <link url='http://www.postgresql.org/docs/{[pg-version]}/static/index.html'>Manual</link>.</p>

        <p>A somewhat novel approach is taken to documentation in this user guide.  Each command is run on a virtual machine when the documentation is built from the XML source.  This means you can have a high confidence that the commands work correctly in the order presented.  Output is captured and displayed below the command when appropriate.  If the output is not included it is because it was deemed not relevant or was considered a distraction from the narrative.</p>

        <p>All commands are intended to be run as an unprivileged user that has sudo privileges for both the <user>root</user> and <user>postgres</user> users.  It's also possible to run the commands directly as their respective users without modification and in that case the <cmd>sudo</cmd> commands can be stripped off.</p>
    </section>

    <!-- SECTION => CONCEPTS -->
    <section id="concept">
        <title>Concepts</title>

        <p>The following concepts are defined as they are relevant to <backrest/>, <postgres/>, and this user guide.</p>

        <!-- SECTION => CONCEPTS - BACKUP -->
        <section id="backup">
            <title>Backup</title>

            <p>A backup is a consistent copy of a database cluster that can be restored to recover from a hardware failure, to perform Point-In-Time Recovery, or to bring up a new standby.</p>

            <p><b>Full Backup</b>: <backrest/> copies the entire contents of the database cluster to the backup. The first backup of the database cluster is always a Full Backup. <backrest/> is always able to restore a full backup directly. The full backup does not depend on any files outside of the full backup for consistency.</p>

            <p><b>Differential Backup</b>: <backrest/> copies only those database cluster files that have changed since the last full backup. <backrest/> restores a differential backup by copying all of the files in the chosen differential backup and the appropriate unchanged files from the previous full backup. The advantage of a differential backup is that it requires less disk space than a full backup, however, the differential backup and the full backup must both be valid to restore the differential backup.</p>

            <p><b>Incremental Backup</b>: <backrest/> copies only those database cluster files that have changed since the last backup (which can be another incremental backup, a differential backup, or a full backup). As an incremental backup only includes those files changed since the prior backup, they are generally much smaller than full or differential backups. As with the differential backup, the incremental backup depends on other backups to be valid to restore the incremental backup. Since the incremental backup includes only those files since the last backup, all prior incremental backups back to the prior differential, the prior differential backup, and the prior full backup must all be valid to perform a restore of the incremental backup. If no differential backup exists then all prior incremental backups back to the prior full backup, which must exist, and the full backup itself must be valid to restore the incremental backup.</p>
        </section>

        <!-- SECTION => CONCEPTS - RESTORE -->
        <section id="restore">
            <title>Restore</title>

            <p>A restore is the act of copying a backup to a system where it will be started as a live database cluster.  A restore requires the backup files and one or more WAL segments in order to work correctly.</p>
        </section>

        <!-- SECTION => CONCEPTS - WAL -->
        <section id="wal">
            <title>Write Ahead Log (WAL)</title>

            <p>WAL is the mechanism that <postgres/> uses to ensure that no committed changes are lost. Transactions are written sequentially to the WAL and a transaction is considered to be committed when those writes are flushed to disk. Afterwards, a background process writes the changes into the main database cluster files (also known as the heap). In the event of a crash, the WAL is replayed to make the database consistent.</p>

            <p>WAL is conceptually infinite but in practice is broken up into individual 16MB files called segments.  WAL segments follow the naming convention <id>0000000100000A1E000000FE</id> where the first 8 hexadecimal digits represent the timeline and the next 16 digits are the logical sequence number (LSN).</p>

        </section>

        <!-- SECTION => CONCEPTS - ENCRYPTION -->
        <section id="encryption">
            <title>Encryption</title>

            <p>Encryption is the process of converting data into a format that is unrecognizable unless the appropriate password (also referred to as passphrase) is provided.</p>

            <p><backrest/> will encrypt the repository based on a user-provided password, thereby preventing unauthorized access to data stored within the repository.</p>
        </section>
    </section>

    <!-- SECTION => UPGRADING -->
    <section id="upgrading">
        <title>Upgrading {[project]}</title>

        <section id="v1-v2">
            <title>Upgrading {[project]} from v1 to v2</title>

            <p>Upgrading from <proper>v1</proper> to <proper>v2</proper> is fairly straight-forward.  The repository format has not changed and all non-deprecated options from <proper>v1</proper> are accepted, so for most installations it is simply a matter of installing the new version.</p>

            <p>However, there are a few caveats:</p>

            <list>
                <list-item>The deprecated <br-option>thread-max</br-option> option is no longer valid.  Use <br-option>process-max</br-option> instead.</list-item>

            <p><postgres/> and repository options must be indexed when using the new names introduced in <proper>v2</proper>, e.g. <br-option>pg1-host</br-option>, <br-option>pg1-path</br-option>, <br-option>repo1-path</br-option>, <br-option>repo1-type</br-option>, etc.  Only one repository is allowed currently but more flexibility is planned for <proper>v2</proper>.</p>

            <title>Setup Demo Cluster</title>

            <p>Creating the demo cluster is optional but is strongly recommended, especially for new users, since the example commands in the user guide reference the demo cluster; the examples assume the demo cluster is running on the default port (i.e. 5432). The cluster will not be started until a later section because there is still some configuration to do.</p>

            <execute-list host="{[host-pg1]}">

            </execute-list>

            <p>By default <postgres/> will only accept local connections.  The examples in this guide will require connections from other servers so <pg-option>listen_addresses</pg-option> is configured to listen on all interfaces.  This may not be appropriate for secure installations.</p>

            <p>For demonstration purposes the <pg-option>log_line_prefix</pg-option> setting will be minimally configured.  This keeps the log output as brief as possible to better illustrate important information.</p>

            <p>The name 'demo' describes the purpose of this cluster accurately so that will also make a good stanza name.</p>

            <p><backrest/> needs to know where the base data directory for the <postgres/> cluster is located.  The path can be requested from <postgres/> directly but in a recovery scenario the <postgres/> process will not be available.  During backups the value supplied to <backrest/> will be compared against the path that <postgres/> is running on and they must be equal or the backup will return an error.  Make sure that <br-option>pg-path</br-option> is exactly equal to <pg-option>data_directory</pg-option> in <file>postgresql.conf</file>.</p>

            <p>By default {[user-guide-os]} stores clusters in <path>{[pg-path-default]}</path> so it is easy to determine the correct path for the data directory.</p>

            <p>When creating the <file>{[backrest-config-demo]}</file> file, the database owner (usually <id>postgres</id>) must be granted read privileges.</p>

            <backrest-config host="{[host-pg1]}" file="{[backrest-config-demo]}">

            <p>There are multiple ways the <backrest/> configuration files can be loaded:</p>
            <list>
                <list-item><br-option>config</br-option> and <br-option>config-include-path</br-option> are default: the default config file will be loaded, if it exists, and <file>*.conf</file> files in the default config include path will be appended, if they exist.</list-item>
                <list-item><br-option>config</br-option> option is specified: only the specified config file will be loaded and is expected to exist.</list-item>
                <list-item><br-option>config-include-path</br-option> is specified: <file>*.conf</file> files in the config include path will be loaded and the path is required to exist. The default config file will be be loaded if it exists. If it is desireable to load only the files in the specified config include path, then the <br-option>--no-config</br-option> option can also be passed.</list-item>
                <list-item><br-option>config</br-option> and <br-option>config-include-path</br-option> are specified: using the user-specified values, the config file will be loaded and <file>*.conf</file> files in the config include path will be appended. The files are expected to exist.</list-item>
                <list-item><br-option>config-path</br-option> is specified: this setting will override the base path for the default location of the config file and/or the base path of the default config-include-path setting unless the config and/or config-incude-path option is explicitly set.</list-item>
            </list>

            <p>The files are concatenated as if they were one big file; order doesn't matter, but there is precedence based on sections. The precedence (highest to lowest) is:</p>

            <list>
                <list-item>[<i>stanza</i>:<i>command</i>]</list-item>
                <list-item>[<i>stanza</i>]</list-item>

            <p>Backing up a running <postgres/> cluster requires WAL archiving to be enabled.  Note that <i>at least</i> one WAL segment will be created during the backup process even if no explicit writes are made to the cluster.</p>

            <p>The <pg-option>wal_level</pg-option> setting must be set to <pg-setting>archive</pg-setting> at a minimum but <pg-setting>hot_standby</pg-setting> and <pg-setting>logical</pg-setting> also work fine for backups.  Setting <pg-option>wal_level</pg-option> to <pg-setting>hot_standy</pg-setting> and increasing <pg-option>max_wal_senders</pg-option> is a good idea even if you do not currently run a hot standby as this will allow them to be added later without restarting the primary cluster.</p>

            <p>The <postgres/> cluster must be restarted after making these changes and before performing a backup.</p>

            <p>When archiving a WAL segment is expected to take more than 60 seconds (the default) to reach the <backrest/> repository, then the <backrest/> <br-option>archive-timeout</br-option> option should be increased. Note that this option is not the same as the <postgres/> <pg-option>archive_timeout</pg-option> option which is used to force a WAL segment switch; useful for databases where there are long periods of inactivity. For more information on the <postgres/> <pg-option>archive_timeout</pg-option> option, see <postgres/> <link url="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/runtime-config-wal.html">Write Ahead Log</link>.</p>

            <p>The <cmd>archive-push</cmd> command can be configured with its own options.  For example, a lower compression level may be set to speed archiving without affecting the compression used for backups.</p>

The '<id>wal archive min/max</id>' shows the minimum and maximum WAL currently stored in the archive.  Note that there may be gaps due to archive retention policies or other reasons.</p>

            <p>The '<id>timestamp start/stop</id>' defines the time period when the backup ran.

            <p>The '<id>wal start/stop</id>' defines the WAL range that is required to make the database consistent when restoring.  The <cmd>backup</cmd> command will ensure that this WAL range is in the archive before completing.</p>

            <p>The '<id>database size</id>' is the full uncompressed size of the database while '<id>backup size</id>' is the amount of data actually backed up (these will be the same for full backups).  The '<id>repository size</id>' includes all the files from this backup and any referenced backups that are required to restore the database while '<id>repository backup size</id>' includes only the files in this backup (these will also be the same for full backups).  Repository sizes reflect compressed file sizes if compression is enabled in <backrest/> or the filesystem.</p>

        <p><link section="/quickstart/perform-restore">Restore a Backup</link> in <link section="/quickstart">Quick Start</link> performed default recovery, which is to play all the way to the end of the WAL stream.  In the case of a hardware failure this is usually the best choice but for data corruption scenarios (whether machine or human in origin) Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) is often more appropriate.</p>

        <p>Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) allows the WAL to be played from the last backup to a specified time, transaction id, or recovery point.  For common recovery scenarios time-based recovery is arguably the most useful.  A typical recovery scenario is to restore a table that was accidentally dropped or data that was accidentally deleted.  Recovering a dropped table is more dramatic so that's the example given here but deleted data would be recovered in exactly the same way.</p>

            <title>Archive Push</title>

            <p>The asynchronous <cmd>archive-push</cmd> command offloads WAL archiving to a separate process (or processes) to improve throughput.  It works by <quote>looking ahead</quote> to see which WAL segments are ready to be archived beyond the request that <postgres/> is currently making via the <code>archive_command</code>. WAL segments are transferred to the archive directly from the <path>pg_xlog</path>/<path>pg_wal</path> directory and success is only returned by the <code>archive_command</code> when the WAL segment has been safely stored in the archive.</p>

            <p>The spool path holds the current status of WAL archiving.  Status files written into the spool directory are typically zero length and should consume a minimal amount of space (a few MB at most) and very little IO.  All the information in this directory can be recreated so it is not necessary to preserve the spool directory if the cluster is moved to new hardware.</p>

            <admonition type="important">In the original implementation of asynchronous archiving, WAL segments were copied to the spool directory before compression and transfer.  The new implementation copies WAL directly from the <path>pg_xlog</path> directory.  If asynchronous archiving was utilized in <proper>v1.12</proper> or prior, read the <proper>v1.13</proper> release notes carefully before upgrading.</admonition>

            <p>The <file>[stanza]-archive-push-async.log</file> file can be used to monitor the activity of the asynchronous process.  A good way to test this is to quickly push a number of WAL segments.</p>

            <p>The asynchronous <cmd>archive-get</cmd> command maintains a local queue of WAL to improve throughput.  If a WAL segment is not found in the queue it is fetched from the repository along with enough consecutive WAL to fill the queue.  The maximum size of the queue is defined by <br-option>archive-get-queue-max</br-option>.  Whenever the queue is less than half full more WAL will be fetched to fill it.</p>

            <p>Asynchronous operation is most useful in environments that generate a lot of WAL or have a high latency connection to the repository storage (i.e., <proper>S3</proper>).  In the case of a high latency connection it may be a good idea to increase <br-option>process-max</br-option>.</p>

            <p>The <file>[stanza]-archive-get-async.log</file> file can be used to monitor the activity of the asynchronous process.</p>

        <p>Both the primary and standby databases are required to perform the backup, though the vast majority of the files will be copied from the standby to reduce load on the primary.

        <p><backrest/> creates a standby backup that is identical to a backup performed on the primary.  It does this by starting/stopping the backup on the <host>{[host-pg1]}</host> host, copying only files that are replicated from the <host>{[host-pg2]}</host> host, then copying the remaining few files from the <host>{[host-pg1]}</host> host.
