+1. Even DEBUG2 seems pretty chatty for a message that just tells you that something is working in an entirely expected fashion; consider DEBUG3. Fortunately, base backups are not so common that this should cause enormous log spam either way, but keeping the amount of debug output down to a reasonable level is an important goal. Before a43f1939d5dcd02f4df1604a68392332168e4be0, it wasn't really practical to run a production server with log_min_messages lower than DEBUG2, because you'd get so much log spam it would cause performance problems (and maybe fill up the disk). -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
