Hello, I had followed this discuss (http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CABRT9RAXzUa=_zT_M4Z1vyDuFkpgNCZLUnRTUO5gvK2kKkNu=A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). I have a similar problem now: I use one Postgres Server as Master an an other one as Standby (WAL archives). I do also a daily backup of the Master Server using pg_dump. Now there is a situation where a possible restore via "cat dumpfile | psql ...." takes to long and the server load is too high. So my idea is to use barman for backup. Is it possible to use wal replication and barman backupin one config file? Is there someone how has experience with this? The relevant barman (test)config looks like: wal_level = archive archive_mode = on archive_command = 'rsync -a %p /var/lib/barman/btest/incoming/%f' The relevant wal replication config on production system (master) looks like: wal_level = hot_standby archive_mode = on archive_command = 'rsync -a %p -e "ssh -i /var/lib/postgresql/.ssh/id_rsa" postgres@xxxxxxxxxxx:/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/wals/master_main/%f </dev/null' Can I use a 2'nd rsync command here? How should I do? What are differences between "wal_level = archive" and "wal_level = archive" or doesn't matter here? -- Nexst4 GmbH Riesaer Straße 7 01129 Dresden Tel.: +49 (351) 655 76 64 Fax: +49 (351) 655 76 66 Mail: sebastian.fiedler@xxxxxxxxx Geschäftsführer: Matthias Schmidt, Alf Thiele Sitz der Gesellschaft: Dresden HRB 27274
