Overview
A backup you have never restored is a hypothesis. A pooler is what stops a few hundred idle app connections from exhausting the server.
In this lesson you will:
- Take backups and rehearse a restore
- Understand point-in-time recovery
- Pool connections in front of the database
Pro Tip
An untested backup is not a backup. Restore one on a schedule.
