Hi, PostgreSQL 9.1.6 Linux (SLES 11) i have a pg_basebackup job that is executed within a script. My command is: /postgresql/v91/bin/pg_basebackup -h 127.0.0.1 -D /postgresql/pg_backup/backupdir -Ft -Z 5 The result of this creates 2 files: base.tar and 16450.tar I understand that 16450 is the oid of the additional tablespace i created however this tablespace resides within the data directory so as far as i can tell (and have tested) suggests this is a duplicate. I did a test restore and was able to recover all tablespaces from the base.tar without any issues - confirming my suspicion that 16450.tar is essentially an uneeded duplicate backup. What pg_basebackup command would i run to avoid created of 16450.tar ? Another thing is that during pg_basebackup i get warning: pg_basebackupWARNING: could not read symbolic link "pg_tblspc/mytablespacename": Invalid argument Again based on my successful recovery i'm assuming this is not a major issue but it is still a little disconcerting.
