One more question guys...
Does the pg_basebackup re-write the data? or do I have to have free space?
Like.. the DB is 2 TB.. do I have to have more 2TB? or it will use those
2TB that already are there?
I would suggest taking a tour of:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/app-pgbasebackup.html
It does not say anything about that.. if it will use more space or if it will replace the current data and the disk space will be the same
