    Hi!

      Thanks for pointing out pg_basebackup

      The issue I'm facing now is about missing WAL files.

      What i'm doing:
    # su postgres -c 'pg_basebackup -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/ -x -h 
master -U sa_rep' ; service postgresql start

Ok but between pg_basebackup and service postgresql start you must configure the db as a stand by. You need to copy a pre-configured recovery file into the data dir (or whatever debian demands) and then start. In 9.3 there is --write-recovery-conf which does this for you.

      The idea is to call "postgresql start" as soon as pg_basebackup ends.
      But I'm getting the following error:

    FATAL:could notreceive data fromWAL stream:FATAL:requested WAL segment 
XXXXXXX has already been removed

      Shoud I just increase 'wal_keep_segments' ?


Yes, that is the way to go. But, you need to know what number you need to 
increase the wal_keep_segments to ?
Which purely depends on the number of WALs being generated. Which version of 
PostgreSQL are you using by the way ?
Apparently 9.1. In 9.2 you can always use -X stream , thus making increasing of 
the wal_keep_segments redundant.

      If I do so, do I need do restart the master or just a reload will do it?


No need to restart, "reload" will do.

    Gabriel you are thinking this in the correct way, but its really :

    pg_basebackup -D <your data dir> --write-recovery-conf --progress 
--xlog-method=stream -h <your primary db server>
    then you just edit recovery.conf (if needed), tweak postgersql.conf (if 
needed) and start the standby .

    What you're looking for is pg_basebackup with - - xlog=stream, I guess.

        Hi all,
          I've been searching for a way to initialize a new Hot Standby node 
with Streaming Replication withou the need for stop or even restarting the 
master.
          Of course the master is already with the needed SR configs.

          I know I have to use pg_start_backup/pg_stop_backup, but i'd like 
some tips, or a link to some tutorial, with the order of the steps.

          I assume will be something like:

        -  configure Slave for SR
        -  pg_start_backup()
        -  rsync PGDATA to slave
        -  start PG on the slave
        -  pg_stop_backup()

          Anything i'm thinking wrong?

        Thanks in advance,
        Gabriel
