Waiting for PostgreSQL 15 – Allow archiving via loadable modules.

On 3rd of February 2022, Robert Haas committed patch:

Allow archiving via loadable modules.
 
Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of
overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the
exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable
module for each file to be archived, rather than running a shell command.
 
Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation
that archives to a local directory.
