Hum...I'm not sure I really understand what you doing.
Maybe I'm doing everything wrong but this is what I did :
t=0 SELECT pg_start_backup('label');
rsync /pgsql backup_server:/
SELECT pg_stop_backup();
t> 1 cron with rsync /WAL backup_server:
but after some time the /WAL become big. So is it a solution to
stop the database, delete everything in /WAL and begin a new cycle (t=0 select etc...) ?
