The maximum amount of time for which you can tolerate lost transactions in case you need to use the backup for crash recovery. Note that you need to balance that need against the space requirements of the WAL files. You can mitigate the space problem by using pg_clearxlogtail or pglesslog. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
