Description:
In April, David Steele, maintainer of the popular pgBackRest backup and restore project for
PostgreSQL, announced that he had archived
the project and it would no longer be maintained due to lack of
sponsorship. On May18, he announced that a number of sponsors have stepped forward to ensure its continued
development: Over the last few weeks, a coalition of sponsors has come together
to fund ongoing development. Their support means the project is no
longer reliant on a single sponsor, giving pgBackRest the stability it
needs for the long term. [...] I'm looking forward to getting back to work. There are
features and optimizations in the pipeline that I'm excited to share
in upcoming releases. Thank you to our sponsors for making this
possible, and thank you to the community for your patience and support
during this transition. Thanks to Paul Wise for the tip.
