Mirko Pepa
Mirko Pepa has been developing with Omnis since Version 3. He studied at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and took courses with Pascal language creator Professor Wirth. Afterward, he founded Profile GmbH, an IT company in Winterthur, Switzerland. Initially, the company sold Apple Computers, developed software and supported customers. Later the company focused on its own software called Helper; an ERP-software solution for small and medium printing and prepress-companies.
Helper now uses Studio 11 wth PostgreSQL. It is a workflow system for large volume document scanning with modules for generating PDFs, branding pages, adding bookmarks, and injecting metadata. To complement Omnis, his company’s software stack includes MantisBT, Mediawiki, NSIS, Sentry, OmnisTAP, PostgreSQL, Jenkins, Apache Archiva, Gitea, and more.
Mirko also serves as an exam expert in the Canton of Zürich for application developer apprentices.
He lives in Winterthur, Switzerland, growing up bilingual, with roots in Italy and Germany. His passions include travelling to the beautiful ‘Riviera del Conero’ on the Adriatic Coast of Italy to enjoy good food and nice weather. Having already learned a few European languages, lately he started to learn Japanese and discover Japan. He is also interested in architecture and art, especially art nouveau, but is also fascinated by all complicated and big machines.

Backing up PostgreSQL
What are my Options?
Overview:
Backing up databases is crucial. Postgres offers options for different needs and situations, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
What You’ll Learn:
In this session, you’ll learn about different backup approaches and which to select based on your needs:
- Simple SQL pg_gump backups via scripts for MacOS and Windows, with automatic restore.
- Point-In-Time backup and recovery. You can restore a postgres database to an exact point in time that might precede an action taken by a user, or a specific event.
- Backup strategies for postgres-docker-containers
- Streaming replication for high availability and disaster recovery
- The new incremental backup-feature in Postgres 17 for point in time recovery
- Using tools to manage your backup processes like pgbackrest or barman on Linux
Why you should attend
If you are new to PostgreSQL and are wondering about all the backup possibilities after reading the Postgres manuals about utilities like pg_dump, pg_restore, pg_basebackup etc. then this is the session for you. The discussion will provide backup options that cover most situations.
Or if you already use postgres in production and already have some backup-techniques (of course you have!!) but want to hear about other possibilities.
