Hi, In postgresql.conf file we have set the following configuration, wal_level=hot_standby archive_mode=on archive_command='test ! -f /archives/%f && cp %p /archives/%f' max_wal_senders=1 wal_keep_segments=128 and took a base backup using the command, pg_basebackup --xlog --format=t -D /backups/`date +%Y%m%d` This base backup and WAL files from the '/archives' dir are moved to another machine in which the base.rar is extracted into $PGDATA folder and WAL files(9 files) are copied to '/archives' folder. recovery.conf is created under the $PGDATA folder with the command "restore_command = 'cp /archives/%f %p'" and then the postgres db service is started. *The restored database has changes which were done today and missing data from changes did a couple of days before.* Note: Can anybody suggest a way to verify/test the incremental backup? ----- -- Thanks, Rajan. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/WAL-restoration-is-not-happening-completely-tp5930204.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
