pg_rman is an online backup and restore tool for PostgreSQL.

backup and PITR as easy as pg_dump. Also, it maintains a backup
catalog per database cluster. Users can maintain old backups
including archive logs with one command.

  * Ease of use. Backup and restore can be done with just one command.
  * Online full backup, incremental backup, and archive backup.
    Incremental backup can reduce backup size extreamly.
  * Backup compression. Unused area in pages are removed and only
    actual data are compressed with gzip.
  * Automatic backup maintenance. Backup and archive WAL files older
    than specified days are deleted automatically.
  * Backup validation. Backup can be validated with CRC checks.
  * No transaction lost in restore. Configuration file generator for
    point-in-time recovery is supported.
