You can transfer the .conf files, but be careful about the archive settings; you may not want those to be identical on the standby. Also pay attention to memory settings, etc., if the hardware isn't identical. Of course, this is the same with setting it up after you copy a base backup. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
