PostgreSQL – 9.5.4 Command that is being executed: pg_basebackup --host=localhost --xlog --gzip --write-recovery-conf --format=t --pgdata=${BACKUPS_HOME}/${BACKUP_DATE_TIME} Error message that appears at the very end of pg_basebackup: pg_basebackup: could not get transaction log end position from server: ERROR: requested WAL segment 00000001000001CD00000055 has already been removed When pg_basebackup runs at the very end it will put in your archive log folder an archive WAL file that ends in “.backup”. This is intended as a marker. The WAL file segment that is referenced in the error message is always the WAL segment
prior to the “.backup” marker. This happens every time I run pg_basebackup. How can I prevent this error from occurring? Thanks, Lance |
