On the primary I have wal_level = hot_standby wal_keep_segments = 48 max_wal_senders = 2 archive_mode = on archive_command = 'rsync --whole-file --ignore-existing --delete-after --timeout=30 -a %p backup:/path/backup/%f' archive_timeout = 300 I don't have "hot_standby = on". I thought that only applied to the standby to allow queries in recovery mode? >> Am I missing something obvious?

I never get either one.
