Hi
To debug the issue, try to take the backup to a location where user taking the backup has Access, provide the location with -D option.
This way it will be confirmed if the issue is due to permissions.
Thanks

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
