Attempting to run a backup with the database online. I first issue 'PG_START_BACKUP', then copy the contents of the postgresql data folder, then issue 'PG_STOP_BACKUP'. The database service remains running during the copy. If queries continue to hit the database after the PG_START_BACKUP command is issued changes to the data folder are possible, which can cause copy errors (for instance, a file not found exception). The file copy method first creates a string array of the data folder contents (all folders and files) and then processes the array, copying one file at a time. What am I doing wrong? -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/pg-start-backup-backups-tp4289135p4289135.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
