Continuous Archiving/backup

[rstens]

Looking for continuous archiving/back up options for larger databases that see some degree of change but the overhead of copying out the whole database is not in line with what we actually need.

The backup scripts are currently being refactored to support a plugin model (and mongo support). Adding this sort of functionality may be easier once that is complete.

WAL-G supports continuous archiving of WAL (Write Ahead Logs). It also supports multiple databases, PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server, Mongo DB (beta), Redis (Beta). It supports multiple storage locations (file system, s3, etc), compression, encryption, monitoring via statsd and network rate limiting during backup push/fetch.
