Dear Dr Paulos
What issues do you have with backup and restore of PostgreSQL?
IMHO this should not be a part of the FRED documentation (beside some references or links,
of
course), because there are many tutorials about making snapshots or replication of
PostgreSQL databases.
This is not strictly a FRED issue and moreover, it's transparent to FRED.
Best regards
Piotr

 Additional documentation on FRED would be very helpful.
 I would like to recommend that you include material on the following:
 1. Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA)  - registrar connections
 2. Digital certiifcates in AAA
 3. Logs or logging
 4. fred-client
 5. EPP and FRED
 6. Backup and restore
 That would even be moire helpful
 Regards,
 Paulos

  Dear users of the FRED,
 I am a technical writer of the CZ.NIC and I'm currently working on a new
 administration manual for the FRED.
 I think you are of those who would appreciate this new piece of
 documentation and therefore, I would like to ask you about your opinions
 on what topics this manual should comprise, which questions it should
 answer and what else you would expect from it.
 I've attached my first (though only very rough) draft of the contents of
 this manual for inspiration and/or comments. (Please, ignore the order
 of the topics for now, that will be dealt with later.)
 Your insight would be very helpful. Thanks for your time!
 Best regards,
