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.

So what is '/db_logs/pgsql/archive/'?
For the moment I going to guess it is a WAL archive location. If so, do
you have a recovery.conf on the standby and an restore_command in it
that points to that location?
Thanks

Hello Adrian,
Can I use this command so that all the data is streamed directly to the target. Target is pretty much unusable now. Should I get rid of all items under my $PGDATA and leave the empty before doing the following?
pg_basebackup -h <my target hostname> -D <my target host directory>
-P -U replication --xlog-method=stream
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.

"The following command-line options control the database connection parameters."
