Prove the Backup: A Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL Restore Drill on Windows

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:00:00 +0000

A backup is only useful if it can be restored. This lab seeds a source database, takes a logical archive, deliberately deletes the source database, restores into a clean target, and checks the recovered state. Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL does not provide a native Windows package. Windows is only the Docker Desktop host; PostgreSQL and its utilities run in Linux containers.

The current Percona 17 Docker documentation uses percona/percona-distribution-postgresql:17.11, requires POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and exposes PostgreSQL on container port 5432. Docker Desktop is the recommended way to obtain Docker Engine, the CLI, and Compose on Windows. Percona Docker guide · Docker Compose installation

Welcome to this blog post! Today, our primary goal is to guide you through deploying Percona Everest on GCP using Kubectl, specifically for users on Windows 11. It’s been some time since I last used Windows, so this will be an excellent opportunity to do it from scratch.

Let me tell you a little bit about Percona Everest. You may have already heard it recently. It is the new open source tool launched by Percona and is already well-received by Kubernetes database users.
