We are using two slaves this way: - Active server moves WAL files to local directory, doesn't care about slaves (basically archive_command = 'mv %p /some/arch_dir/%f') - Slaves pull WAL files via rsync - Slaves also do full syncs every several hours (pg_start_backup / rsync / pg_stop_backup) - Active server also has "cleanup daemon": removes redundant archived WALs based on last full backup time The slaves are not warm, however they periodically create LVM snapshots and pg_dump databases. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
