Here’s the latest on Google’s work to enhance Android backups

Google is refining its backup functionalities for Android users, focusing on the downloads folder and per-app backup settings. Users will soon be able to back up files from their downloads folder, but edits made to these files will not sync with the backup on Google Drive. Additionally, a new notification will inform users that disabling backups for a specific app will result in the deletion of its backup copy. The interface for managing app backups is also being updated to differentiate between user applications and system processes. These features are currently in beta and not yet publicly available.

How to use your Windows 10 PC safely for one more year with this free trick

Microsoft concluded support for Windows 10 on October 14th, leaving users without security updates or patches. Many users are considering upgrading to a PC compatible with Windows 11, but not all machines meet the hardware requirements, particularly the need for a TPM 2.0 chip. To address user concerns, Microsoft introduced a one-year support extension. Users can secure this extension through two free methods: redeeming 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points or activating the Windows Backup feature. However, the backup option is linked to OneDrive's 5 GB free storage limit, and exceeding this limit incurs costs. Nearly half of all Windows users are still on Windows 10, making this extension a vital safety net that allows users more time to explore their options without immediate pressure to upgrade.

5 steps I took for a successful in-place upgrade of my 6-year-old PC from Windows 10 to 11

Windows 11 was released in October 2021. A user upgraded from Windows 10 22H2 to Windows 11 24H2 on a six-year-old HP Omen using an in-place upgrade. They backed up important files using OneDrive, Proton Drive, and a 4 TB external drive. The hardware was checked for compatibility with Windows 11 using Microsoft’s support page and the PC Health Check app. The user decluttered the system using Disk Cleanup and Revo Uninstaller. A system restore point was created for safety before the upgrade. The upgrade was initiated through Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update or the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, and it proceeded smoothly, allowing the user to keep files and applications.

What’s in Store for pg_probackup 3

Pg_probackup is a backup solution for PostgreSQL that debuted in 2016 and has evolved significantly, with the latest version being 2.5.15 available on GitHub and version 2.8.6 included in the Postgres Pro product suite. It supports 14 platforms and offers three types of incremental backups, features like merging backups, quick replica restoration, and integration with S3 and CFS. Users can access community support via a dedicated Telegram chat. The versions of Pg_probackup include: - 2.5.15 Community: Open-source, available on GitHub with critical bug fixes. - 2.8.6 STD: Closed-source, optimized for large datasets, included with Postgres Pro Standard. - 2.8.6 ENT: Closed-source, similar to STD but adds CFS and S3 support. - 3 and above: Closed-source overhaul aimed at improved speed and efficiency. Pg_probackup 3 was developed to address client requests and internal ideas, leading to a modular architecture with three components: a DB core extension, LibProbackup3 (a core library for database connection), and the backup application itself. Libprobackup3 is written in C++, providing a C interface for integration with various programming languages and managing archival file streams and backup logic. Pg_probackup 3 introduces a custom communication protocol for optimized data handling and supports multiple backup modes: FULL, DELTA, PTRACK, and PAGE. The recovery feature includes FUSE capability for direct data restoration from backups without full unpacking, enhancing recovery options for selective restoration of databases and WAL files. Performance testing showed that while version 2.8.6 excelled in single-threaded scenarios, pg_probackup 3.0.0 outperformed it in multi-threaded environments, especially in PRO mode for PTRACK incrementals. The roadmap for pg_probackup 3 includes releasing the current version, preparing an open-source variant, optimizing multi-threading, and implementing additional features in pg_probackup 3.1.
