EDB Donates Klio Backup Tool to CloudNativePG, Previews Enterprise Postgres Add-Ons for Kubernetes

EnterpriseDB (EDB) donated a backup and recovery tool called Klio to the CloudNativePG (CNPG) community at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026. CNPG had previously been accepted as an Incubating project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) on November 10. Klio provides continuous streaming of WAL segments, enabling faster restores compared to traditional methods that archive WAL as completed segments.

It also encrypts data in transit and at rest with user-controlled keys, supports different storage options, and can protect multiple clusters from a single server while displaying backup health. EDB is offering an EDB distribution of Klio with certified images, enterprise support, and long-term support releases. Additionally, EDB is previewing an EDB Postgres AI Plugin for CNPG that adds features like transparent data encryption, both slated for general availability by the end of 2026.

With Altinity, a ClickHouse operator created by EDB's recent acquisition, now part of EDB, the company aims to create a unified multi-model data layer called EDB Postgres AI, running natively on Kubernetes.
