I am using pgbackrest. I used to use pg_rman, being well acquainted with 
rman backup tool  belonging to another database system, but pg_rman was 
removing WAL archives before they were delivered to replica. I have 
replication slots from the OLTP database to the DW database with 
partitions, hash and bloom indexes and massive amount of processors, for 
parallel query. I need the replication to work. In addition to that, 
pgbackrest can employ parallelism while pg_rman cannot do that. I find 
pgbackrest by far the best Postgres backup system.
