> Anyway, a better way for you would be to do a regular backup (with pg_start_backup, copy and pg_stop_backup) and then use wal archive_command to keep the xlogs between 2 full backups. Thanks Julien. Can pg_start/stop_backup() be used for regular full file system backups? All of the documentation I've read only refers to using those for warm standby/wal shipping methods. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
