Hello,

I'm getting error when using pg_basebackup as bellow;

pg_basebackup: could not create directory "/data": Permission denied

I couldn't overcome with that problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi Gunce Kaya,

/data -- directory requires postgres user permission.

In addition to this, the user might not be a valid DB user having enough privileges in order to perform backup having entry in pg_hba file.
