I don't see why --delete would make any difference, but you shouldn't
exclude backup_label from the base backup. The backup label file is an
important part of the online backup, it cannot be recovered safely
without it.
Yes, you (and Robert) are entirely correct, I was confused in my
understanding of the "--delete --exclude=backup_label" and thought it to
mean "exclude the backup label from the delete". Yeah the --delete is
harmless, it is the exclude backup_label that is causing the problem.
Note to all current Pitrtools users, this impacts you! We need to get a
corrected version out soon I would think.
I note that this uninitialized pages with standbys has cropped up from
time to time - I wonder if in most/all the cases folk were using Pitrtools?
