Not only that, if you add up another 500GB to transfer over the WALs, that might mean another 2 to 3 days to finish the transfer (and that if it's only 500GB of WALs) BTW, 2TB in 10 days means an avg speed of 2.3Mb/s. I guess this must be some standby in a DR site without a dedicated network bandwidth. Wouldn't it be faster to clone the disk locally, detach it and send it over with a Courier? ;) Regards, -- Martín Marqués http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
