Hi Adrian,
After a few attempts I used the following (without method=stream as it is not working on 9.1) and restored the DB on standby site successfully. The log says it is connecting to primary
streaming replication successfully connected to primary

but still complains about some log files.

Just to be sure the target is the standby server, correct?

If so you do not want this:

-h <my target hostname>

-h is for the server you are taking the backup of, or to put it another way the flow is from -h to -D.

If you are running pg_basebackup on the same machine as the primary then:

pg_basebackup  -D <my target host directory>  -P -U replication --xlog-method=stream

This assumes there is only one instance of Postgres running on that machine and it is running on port 5432. If not then you will need to specify -p <correct_port>

pg_basebackup is a client program, so like other such programs you have to tell it what database(cluster) to connect to using the normal switches, see below. Actually pg_basebackup does not connect to a specific database but to the database cluster, so any database name you supply will be ignored.
