I have been evaluating PostgreSQL and Slony to provide the
database/replication functionality for a new version of a product. As
part of the evaluation I am being asked to answer questions, not only
about what is supported now but what may appear in the future. I cannot
find any kind of road map document for Slony. Does one exist?

 

Are there any plans for mult-master replication, now that Slony2 appears
to be dead?

 

Will Slony1 be ported to Vista and Longhorn? What are the likely
timescales?

 

Is a watchdog recommended for windows? Does one exist?

 

How do I backup the master and slave databases?

 

Thanks,
