Check the complete path on your primary replica.
Refer the below example
Example: pg_basebackup -h <hostip> -U <>repuser -Xs -P -R -D /var/lib/pgsql/11/ -p 5490
This command will copy the complete data in /data directory from the primary node to /var/lib/pgsql/11/ on the replica node.
On replica node you can go to /var/lib/pgsql/11/ and find that /data directory of primary replica gets copied here.

Hi All,I do not know why I am having this problem. My pg_basebackup which I took using this command "pg_basebackup -h xxxxxx -p 5432 -U postgres_repuser -D /data/postgres -R" is failing with this error message "pg_basebackup: error: could not create directory "/data/postgres/pg_log": File exists"I cleaned up that directory using rm -rf /data/postgres/ .*/ and I still end up with the above error message.Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.Yong
