> I've been thinking about ways to create an offline-equivalent backup, so that it can be automated. One of the approaches we take with Efficito is to ensure our offsite backups are pulled by the backup server, not pushed there by the backed up server (exception is made for archiving Pg wal segments). A backed-up server has no access to its own offsite, online backups for db base backups, file backups, and the like and only write-once-read-only access to its own WAL segment archives. It's not quite an offline backup (and for our purposes there are real limitations with fully offline backups), but it is about as close as you can get.
