In this chapter, we learned about creating backups and dumps in general. So far, binary backups have not been covered, but you are already able to extract textual backups from the server so that you can save and replay your data in the most simplistic way possible.

In Chapter 10, Making Sense of Backups and Replication, you will learn about transaction log shipping, streaming replication, and binary backups. You will also learn how to use PostgreSQL's onboard tools to replicate instances.
