From what I can find Postgres 17 [1] introduced incremental backups to pg_basebackup, refined in 18, but nowhere near the full featureset of pgBackRest. Is that what you meant? Having builtin incremental replication to a S3-compatible storage would be great.
Postgres has built-in backups starting with version 18.

doesn't it still work?
Yes! But I'm assuming it will prevent me from upgrading to Postgres 19 in the future.
I'm not familiar with the internals, but is backing up that coupled to Postgres version? That feels so brittle to me.
