I had never heard of this "replication checkpoint" thing. It is part of replication origins feature, which is fairly new stuff (see src/backend/replication/logical/origin.c). I'd bet this problem is related to a bug in logical replication "origins" code rather than any procedural problems in your base-backup taking setup ... I wonder if there is some truncation of the 0x1257DADE value that produces the 5714534 value you're seeing -- something related to a pg_logical/replorigin_checkpoint file being written partially while the backup is being taken. Another point towards not including pg_logical/ contents when taking a base backup, I guess ... -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
