That requires a custom install, though even if you did this it definitely would not provide you with any of the outcomes you might want to create: Are you trying to a) run a backup with continuous archiving http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-ARCHIVING-WAL b) run a restore from a continuous archive backup http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-PITR-RECOVERY c) run a Warm Standby between two database servers http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/warm-standby.html If you want to do (a) or (b) you've mistakenly read both parts of the manual and if you want to do (c) then you need two servers, not just one. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
