Update: I have successfully used this configuration with a month's worth of WALs (tens of thousands), run a test restore, and everything appears to have worked as expected. So at least based on that test, this configuration seems fine.

I am running a pg_receivexlog 9.2 client against a 9.1 server. It seems to work. Comments in the code seem to indicate that this setup is workable.However, pg_receivexlog is not part of the 9.1 source tree nor the rpm package (as far as I see), so I am curious if there is some caveat that I sure be aware of, or some other incompatibility that makes this setup not work.The goal is to have PITR using a combination of pg_basebackup (which is part of 9.1) and pg_receivexlog.Thanks,Dan
