Hi,
Your query:
1. Is it possible to use PgBackrest with EnterpriseDB(EDB -16) for the
backup and recovery process? Or pgback works only with the community
PostgreSQL database ?
Answer: Yes, you can use pgBackRest with EPAS-16 (EDB Postgres Advanced Server); it is fully supported. You can find two use cases provided on the EDB official documentation website, detailing both scenarios: pgBackRest running locally or on a dedicated remote server. The following links are given for more information:

Hi ,I am trying pgbackrest(2.52.1) with postgresql( version 16) on a lab setup on RHEL-9.
