You don't have to manually put the pg_xlog files in the pg_xlog directory -- you have to let the recovery_command copy them back from the archive area. Note that recovery.conf does not go into the share/ directory, but in data/. And it must be present _only_ when you want the system to attempt the recovery, not before. Also I didn't see any pg_start_backup() nor pg_stop_backup() calls in your procedure. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
