EnterpriseDB Slashes Petabyte-Scale Analytics Recovery Time to Minutes
Event summary
- EnterpriseDB launched Disaster Recovery for WarehousePG, reducing recovery time from days to minutes for petabyte-scale analytics.
- A banking customer saw recovery time drop from nearly two days to 16 minutes with the new solution.
- Full backup times improved from 44 hours to 11 hours, with 99% less query lock time.
- The solution leverages open-source Barman and PostgreSQL's write-ahead log for coordinated recovery.

The big picture
EnterpriseDB's new disaster recovery capability addresses a critical gap in petabyte-scale analytics, where traditional backup methods fail to meet the demands of 24/7 operations. This move aligns with broader industry trends toward operational resilience and data sovereignty, particularly in regulated sectors like banking. The solution's ability to reduce recovery time from days to minutes could set a new standard for disaster recovery in large-scale analytics environments.
