Better than the first course from this series, but remains the poor pronunciation in many videos
By Mwangi Ramson
I got to master (I mean lean and experiment on) PostgreSQL physical archival methods i.e. How to use rsync to copy tablespace and PG data directory to a standby server, point in time recovery using PG's recovery.conf and how to make continuous archival configs on postgresql.conf file. Very helpful and recommendable!

It has been good, will definitely recommend this course
By Rodrigo Almeida
The content is very good and the instructor explanation. However, the accent is a little bit difficult to understand if English is not your native language.
By Shyam Kumar
i have learn many new things . This tutorial is very good and helpful
By Eric Mokaya
The course content is delivered well, but requires an update to cater for version 11 and there's no reason to split logical and physical backups into different courses
By Orlando Tjon
The subject is explained very clear.
By Edwind Contreras
Thanks a god this videos have subtitles because the english pronuntiation is hard to follow, the course is just fine, but need to be more deeper on backup strategies, i not clear yet about if the base backup needs to be made all days or just once and if the wall files have rotation, how i know wich is my backup window to restore, postgreSQL have tools to review the wal files like pg_xlogdump, this tools aren't mentioned.
