database more than 400GB

[luizmu...@gmail.com]

Hi there

I have one database with more than 400GB, and I starting to try wal-e to make a backup in S3.

I started the base backup and after 8 hours the backup does not completed.

I saw in the s3, and there ware a lot of compacted files, and I looked at to the instance usage and aparentilly everything is right

Someone knows if i need to change something?

Have you used wal-e for backup on a database of this size?

Yeah, I have. Considerably larger databases, also...is WAL-E doing useful work, or is it somehow stuck?

Daniel Farina, your basic backup, how long does it take to average?

I will look again at the consuming of disk, I think that is the bottleneck

A fairly fast machine with the right disk bandwidth can handle 200MiB/s. But conservatively, 30MiB/s is an easy goal to meet.
