Need assistance in incremental backup for my environment

[Vinod V <vinodv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Team,

 

We need to implement incremental backup (PITR) in our environment, since our production database is in high risk.

 

We are running with PostgreSQL 9.1

We need to implement this on both Windows7 and Linux platforms.

We were able to get the WAL files generated on Windows platform but the recovery from the log files are not happening. Below were the error messages that we were getting when trying to restore it (while restarting the server).

 

2013-01-10 01:58:46 PST LOG:  could not bind IPv6 socket: No error
2013-01-10 01:58:46 PST HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
2013-01-10 01:58:46 PST LOG:  could not bind IPv4 socket: No error
2013-01-10 01:58:46 PST HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
2013-01-10 01:58:46 PST WARNING:  could not create listen socket for "*"
2013-01-10 01:58:46 PST FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

Below are the archive_command and restore_command,which I am using (on Windows7).

 

wal_level = archive

archive_mode = on                

archive_command = 'copy "%p" "C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\9.1\\data\\wals\\%f"'

 

restore_command=’copy ‘C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\9.1\\data\\wals\\%f %p’

 

Please correct me if I am following a wrong procedure.

 

Thanks,

Vinod V
