copy / backup question - copying a data directory while the db is shutdown

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All;

If I shutdown a HOT standby slave (via the -m fast command) can I then copy the data directory to a "backup" location and be guaranteed that the backup copy will start?

For some reason I thought there were issues (or potential issues) with this method and a PITR based recovery approach was a better guarantee that the copy will start


Thoughts?
