An intro to pgBackRest

The Feb meeting will be held at 18:00 EST on Tues, the 27th. Once again, we will be holding the meeting in the community space at CoverMyMeds. Please RSVP on MeetUp so we have an idea on the amount of food needed.

What

CoverMyMeds’ very own Andy will be presenting this month. Andy is a MS SQL Server DBA (but we won’t hold that against him) who is an enthusiastic PostgreSQL convert. He’s going to tell us all about pgBackRest and how it’s the best PostgreSQL backup tool around :) This is Andy’s first time presenting to the group, so please come out and support him.

Where

CoverMyMeds has graciously agreed to validate your parking if you use their garage so please park there:

You can safely ignore any sign saying to not park in the garage as long as it’s after 17:30 when you arrive.

Park in any space that is not marked ‘24 hour reserved’.

Once parked, take the elevator/stairs to the 3rd floor to reach the Miranova lobby. Once in the lobby, the elevator bank is in the back (West side) of the building. Take a left and walk down the hall until you see the elevator bank on your right. Grab an elevator up to the 11th floor. (If the elevator won’t let you pick the 11th floor, contact Doug or CJ (info below)). Once you exit the elevator, look to your left and right; one side will have visible cubicles, the other won’t. Head to the side without cubicles. You’re now in the community space:

The kitchen is to your right (grab yourself a drink) and the meeting will be held to your left. Walk down the room towards the stage.

If you have any issues or questions with parking or the elevators, feel free to text/call Doug at +1.614.316.5079 or CJ at +1.740.407.7043
