--clean will drop the object entirely not TRUNCATE. I'm guessing that this is being done by you per: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/53760c70-4a87-a453-9e02-57abc9cb2e54%40gmx.net "After each failed attempt, I need to issue a TRUNCATE table1,table2,... before I try again. "
Oops, forgot to engage brain. From pg_backup_archiver.c: * In parallel restore, if we created the table earlier in * this run (so that we know it is empty) and we are not * restoring a load-via-partition-root data item then we * wrap the COPY in a transaction and precede it with a * TRUNCATE. If wal_level is set to minimal this prevents * WAL-logging the COPY. This obtains a speedup similar * to that from using single_txn mode in non-parallel * restores. * * We mustn't do this for load-via-partition-root cases * because some data might get moved across partition * boundaries, risking deadlock and/or loss of previously * loaded data. (We assume that all partitions of a * partitioned table will be treated the same way.)
Thanks in advance, Dimitris
