My use case., I have a system with master ---> Standby 1 ---> Standby 2 replicating to 2 standby servers. i will use Incrementally_Updated_Backups(http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Incrementally_Updated_Backups) for 2 puposes 1. For adding one more standby in the cluster (---> Standby 3) 2. For backup the data. What will be overhead on master while doing pg_start_backup? - Sen -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Overhead-on-while-doing-pg-start-backup-tp4668708p4668708.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
