Is there a way we can validate a postgers backup? (short of
restoring it somewhere)
Define "validate" for your purpose. Once you do that, then you can
come up with the procedure for accomplishing your validation. Hint:
simply restoring it somewhere may not be sufficient...
For validate what I'm looking to do is provide either some log or
message provided by postgres that will alert us when/if the backup did
'not' complete successfully. So I guess it's more of a pg_dump
validation I'm looking into.
Well, pg_dump returns 0 on success, and error messages on standard error
on failure.
