PGHoard is a PostgreSQL backup daemon and restore tooling that continuously stores basebackups and WAL transaction logs in cloud object stores like S3, Azure, Google Cloud, and Ceph. It supports point-in-time recovery, encryption, parallel compression, and automatic retention cleanup.

Use cases

• back up postgresql to s3
• set up point-in-time recovery for postgres
• continuous wal archiving to cloud storage
• restore a postgres database from object storage
• create a standby replica from backups
• encrypted postgres backups with retention policy

When to choose

• you need automated, continuous PostgreSQL backups to cloud object storage
• you require point-in-time recovery or standby provisioning from backups
• you want encrypted, compressed backups with monitoring hooks and self-healing retries

When to avoid

• you only need simple logical dumps (pg_dump) on a cron job
• you use a database other than PostgreSQL
• you prefer a fully managed backup service rather than running your own daemon
