pgBackRest is no longer maintained

David Steele, maintainer of the popular pgBackRest backup and restore project forPostgreSQL, has archivedthe project and announced that it is no longer being maintained.

After a lot of thought, I have decided to stop working on pgBackRest. I didnot come to this decision lightly. pgBackRest has been my passion project forthe last thirteen years, and I was fortunate to have corporate sponsorship formuch of this time, but there were also many late nights and weekends as I workedto make pgBackRest the project it is today, aided by numerouscontributors. Every open-source developer knows exactly what I mean and how muchof your life gets devoted to a special project.

Since Crunchy Data was sold, I have been maintaining pgBackRest and lookingfor a position that would allow me to continue the work, but so far I have notbeen successful. Likewise, my efforts to secure sponsorship have also fallen farshort of what I need to make the project viable.
