You can safely recommend pgBackRest as several PostgreSQL companies have already stepped up to take over/fork pgBackRest.

The issue is, 13tb database BARMAN backup is taking 20 hours and restore takes 24 hours.

So the main agenda is to reduce the backup time to less than 10hours.

 So does any solution/ tool I recommend to client.

. I just checked pgBeckRest has no more support, so I can not suggest it to client.
