The objective is to create a backup from which I can restore any or all tables in the event of a crash. In my case, I
usePostgres for my own scholarly purposes. Publications of whatever kind are not directly made public via the database.
Iam my only customer, and a service interruption, while a nuisance to me, does not create a crisis for others. I don’t
wantto lose my work, but a service interruption of a day or a week is no big deal.
