Bucardo is a replication system for PostgreSQL. It supports both master-slave (to multiple slaves) and master-master replication, and does not require any modifications to PostgreSQL to run. Maintained by Greg Sabino Mullane, its management application (bucardo_ctl) has recently been significantly improved, making initial setup of replication very fast and easy.]]>
