Re: WAL files backup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Im back working on PITR with WAL files.

I was busy creating a PITR based file backup procedure
in bash that works just like my boss want it to.

that was complementary to the backup I want to discuss
with you; shouldn't it work? I have repeated this
procedure a few times with the same results, so that
is wrong here?

thanks in advance

Ok so I go back and retry the complete procedure to
try to pin point what might be the problem.

1)POSTGRES NEW INSTALL

2)CREATE TESTING DATABASE
# createdb Test

3)INSERT A LOT OF DATA INTO 'Test'
# insert into users values (1	,'name','800122','2
someones name',3,1);
# insert into users values (2	,'name','800122','2
someones name',3,1);
...cincuenta mil veces con su id unico - FIVE THOUSAND
TIMES WITH UNIQUE ID'S

4)COPY WAL AND DATA FILES SOMEWHERE ELSE

# psql Test
# SELECT pg_start_backup('1');
# \q

# cd /home/postgres/backup
# tar zcf 070215-data-01.tgz /usr/local/pgsql/data
# tar zcf 070215-oficial-01.tgz oficial


# psql Test
# SELECT pg_stop_backup();
# \q

5)INSERT A LOT OF DATA INTO 'Test'
# insert into users values (5001	,'name','800122','2
someones name',3,1);
# insert into users values (5002	,'name','800122','2
someones name',3,1);
...cincuenta mil veces con su id unico - FIVE THOUSAND
TIMES WITH UNIQUE ID'S


6)COPY WAL AND DATA FILES SOMEWHERE ELSE

# psql Test
# SELECT pg_start_backup('2');
# \q

# cd /home/postgres/backup
# tar zcf 070215-data-02.tgz /usr/local/pgsql/data
# tar zcf 070215-oficial-02.tgz oficial

# psql Test
# SELECT pg_stop_backup();
# \q

7)RECOVER DATA BACKUP 1 AND WAL FILES 2

# cd /home/postgres/backup
# rm -rf /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/*
# rm -rf  oficial

# psql Test
# SELECT pg_start_backup('2');
# \q

# cd /home/postgres/backup
# tar zxf 070215-data-01.tgz
# tar zxf 070215-oficial-02.tgz

# psql Test
# SELECT pg_stop_backup();
# \q
# ls -la oficial
drwxr-sr-x  2 postgres staff 4096 2007-02-16 10:51 .
drwxr-sr-x  4 postgres staff 4096 2007-02-16 10:47 ..

-rw-------  1 postgres staff  234 2007-02-16 10:12
000000010000000000000003
-rw-------  1 postgres staff  234 2007-02-16 10:12
000000010000000000000004
-rw-------  1 postgres staff  234 2007-02-16 10:12
000000010000000000000005.0024FD70.backup

# rm -rf 000000010000000000000003
# rm -rf 000000010000000000000004

8)CREATE recovery.conf

name = '5'
restore_command = 'cp
/home/postgres/respaldos/oficial/%f %p'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'

SO I START PG AND GET THESE ERRORS

*****************
NOTE: ok so I get it, there is a missing file so here
it goes
# cp oficial/000000010000000000000005.0024FD70.backup
/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog/000000010000000000000005
NOTE: placement in the event in the log is not quite
aqccurate but you get the idea that there is no
complain about the WAL file missing from pg_xlog any
more
