Secure file system (SecureFS) support for PostgreSQL

InfoScale offers the ability to configure secure file systems (SecureFS) that provides a recovery mechanism in case of a data corruption, deletion, and a ransomware event. This release adds SecureFS support for PostgreSQL databases on Linux.

Key highlights:

  • SecureFS uses point-in-time volume-level snapshots that are Write Once Read Many (WORM) enabled and protected from modification and deletion. You can use these isolated snapshots to recover your data in case of a corruption or a ransomware attack.
  • You can enable or disable SecureFS features (snapshots, checkpoints, policies) on a file system simultaneously.
  • You can fine tune the SecureFS configuration using WORM policies and schedules based on your requirements.
  • You can configure SecureFS for PostgreSQL using the vxschadm command or from the InfoScale Operations Manager.
