##Arch
OS: Centos 7
PostgreSQL 10
pgbackrest 2.18
PAF: two nodes(primary and secondary ) with corosync and pacemaker
##Query
I am using pacemaker and corosync to setup two nodes High availability cluster for postgreSQL 10. In the scenario I want to setup timely backup with pgbackrest.
Using the _backup from standby_ feature I could able to take backup from my secondary postgres. But if secondary postgres is down, it does not take backup from primary.
What I want?
I want to take backup from secondary postgres (--backup-standby), If secondary is unavailable, take backup from primary postgres.
Or if Primary postgres goes down backup should still continues from secondary (which would have been promoted to master now)
All backups are with remote repository
pgbackrest.conf for repo:
[data]
pg1-host=pgprimary
pg1-path=/var/lib/pgsql/10/data
pg2-host=pgsec
pg2-path=/var/lib/pgsql/10/data
[global]
backup-standby=y
process-max=3
repo1-path=/var/lib/pgbackrest
repo1-retention-full=2
start-fast=y
pgbackrest for primary and secondary postgres:
[data]
pg1-host=main
pg1-path=/var/lib/pgsql/10/data
pg2-host=sec
pg2-path=/var/lib/pgsql/10/data
[global]
backup-standby=n
process-max=3
repo1-path=/var/lib/pgbackrest
repo1-retention-full=2
start-fast=y
Is there any way to achieve this?
This sounds like a generic problem? Or am I doing something wrong
