pg_stop_backup() doesn't complete until all the WAL segments needed to restore from the backup are archived. If archive_command is failing, that never happens. > And why it's a problem to have it complete? Because then you would conclude that the backup is finished and you have all the data you need to restore safely in the archive. If archive_command is failing, that's not happening. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
