Sure.
1 - You ran pg_basebackup on node-1 against a live cluster and store
it on NFS or tape.
2 - Do a restore on node-2 from the backup taken on (1), but only for
a subset of the database
(schema/database)
3- Put the cluster live on node-2 after (2) completes. Essentially the
cluster will now be a small
subset of cluster on node-1.
Benefit: If I have to restore only 5% of entire db, it should be lot faster.
