This is on Postgresql 9.6, if it matters. Attached is a text file showing the pgbackrest version, config, backup log and "pgbackrest info" output.
I followed the instructions in https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide.html#quickstart/configure-encryption, and successfully ran these commands before the first encrypted backup, but they aren't in the text file:
rm -r /Database/9.6/backups/pgbackrest pgbackrest stanza-create --stanza=localhost Have I misconfigured something? -- Angular momentum makes the world go 'round.
