I reconsider the way to not use pg_stop_backup(). Process of online base backup on standby server: 1. pg_start_backup('x'); 2. copy the data directory 3. copy *pg_control* Behavior while restore: * read "Minimum recovery ending location" of the copied pg_control. * use the value with the same purposes as the end-of-backup location. -> When the value is equal to 0/0, this behavior do not do. This situation is to acquire backup from master server. -------------------------------------------- Jun Ishizuka NTT Software Corporation TEL:045-317-7018 E-Mail: ishizuka....@po.ntts.co.jp -------------------------------------------- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
