Hi, shouldn't this give the same error message? $ pg_basebackup --checkpoint=fast --format=t --compress --pgdata=/var/tmp/dummy pg_basebackup: error: must specify output directory or backup target pg_basebackup: hint: Try "pg_basebackup --help" for more information. $ pg_basebackup --pgdata=/var/tmp/dummy --checkpoint=fast --format=t --compress pg_basebackup: option '--compress' requires an argument pg_basebackup: hint: Try "pg_basebackup --help" for more information. I don't see why the first case gives not the same message as the second, especially as the "output directory" is specified.
I guess because "--pgdata=/var/tmp/dummy" is processed as the argument of --compress option in the first case, but not in the second case. You can see the same error if you specify other optoin requiring an argument, such as --label, in the first case.
