pgBackRest, a trusted tool for reliable PostgreSQL backups with features like parallel processing, incremental backups, remote operation, encryption, and cloud support (S3, Azure, GCS), is no longer maintained—its creator stopped due to lack of sponsorship. This protects your databases from unpatched bugs or security risks in ongoing use, letting you switch to actively supported alternatives for safer, faster backups and peace of mind.

#c_lang #c #compression #lz4

LZ4 is a fast, lossless compression tool that reduces the size of data without losing information. It can compress and restore data quickly, making it useful when speed matters. Users can choose faster compression or smaller output, and use dictionaries to improve compression of small files. LZ4 is available as a library and a command-line utility.
