AFAIK the postgress SQL DB backup is not supported (not in the software compatibility matrix), that means there is NO plugin to perform online backup .
The only way is to do a backup is:
- to create a dump on this DB use postgres SQL command ... and then perform file level backup on this dump. - to create a savepnpc (batch or shell) script which could be used to stop daemons, perform a offline backup on it, then after successfully backup to start daemons again and bring DB in active state .
Please clear the things with EMC first which method is supported here ... this could be very tricky ...
Another option if you are ever missing an Avamar plugin for a particular database type is to use the database system's management tools to dump to file and perform a regular file system backup of the file(s).
