Ankur, This should be really easy to solve: 1) Who owns this backup directory 2) what is the mode of that directory, i.e., 555, 755, or what? You could simply try "chmod 777 ./backup" and then reattempt your pg_basebackup command. -- Jay On 10/23/2015 8:56 PM, Ankur Kaushik wrote: > > User created as CREATE ROLE base_backup_user REPLICATION LOGIN PASSWORD 'backupuser'; > > > -bash-4.1$ pg_basebackup -h 127.0.0.1 -U base_backup_user -D "./pgbackup" -Ft -z -P > pg_basebackup: could not get backup header: ERROR: could not open directory "./backup": Permission denied > > > Getting Below error while using pg_basebackup -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
