Hi Jeff, You mean that ? Is this correct ? hot_stanby = on to be sure it plays WAL and stays in standby mode ?
1. Stop Postgres 2. Restore Local basebackup (untar, un gzip) 3. Create (recovery.conf) standby_mode + hot_standby on (postgresql.conf) 4. Start Postgres 5. Wait to see in log "database system is ready to accept read only connections" 6. To Check 7. Stop Postgres 8. ..... some time passed 9. resync wals with latest 10. recreate recovery.conf without standby_mode + hot_standby off 11. Start Postgres 11. Wait recovery.done 12. To Check Thanks Sebastien On Thu, Feb 8, 2018 at 5:11 PM, Jeff Janes <jeff.ja...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 8, 2018 at 5:07 AM, Sébastien Boutté < > sebastien.bou...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I'm trying to make my server doing PITR backup, i follow the rules on >> https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/continuous-archiving.html. >> >> On my local server, i would like to resync multiple times my local >> database: >> >> What i'm doing : >> 1.
