It is recommended that you perform backup periodically.
Backing up data periodically using WebAdmin or the pgx_dmpall command has the following advantages:
This method reduces disk usage, because obsolete archive logs (transaction logs copied to the backup data storage destination) are deleted. It also minimizes the recovery time when an error occurs.
Backup cycle
The time interval when backup is performed periodically is called the backup cycle. For example, if backup is performed every morning, the backup cycle is 1 day.
The backup cycle depends on the jobs being run, but on Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres it is recommended that operations are run with a backup cycle of at least once per day.
