Greetings, We generally prefer to do in-line replies (not top-posting) on these lists. So, more below. * LEROY TENNISON (leroy_tennison@xxxxxxxxxxx) wrote: > Keep in mind that this can be accomplished in other ways depending on what archive_command you're using. rsync, and sftp (I don't recommend scp due to security concerns but it does compression as well) both have parameters to do in-transit compression. If i remember correctly Postgresql compression must be enabled on both ends. I had a situation where that wasn't easy to do and opted for external (to Postgresql) compression. In general, rsync, sftp, and scp are very poor choices for archive command as they don't do anything to ensure that the WAL is actually written out to disk and also don't do a variety of other sensible checks to make sure the WAL matches the PG database, there's a history file for the timeline the WAL is on, etc. Thanks, Stephen
