This also explains why you can't use the 2-parameter form of pg_start_backup as that wasn't introduced until 8.4. You need to connect to a 9.0 instance. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
