Hello. On postgresql 10.5, my pg_basebackup is failing with this error: pg_basebackup: could not receive data from WAL stream: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request In the postgres log files, I'm seeing: 2018-09-02 00:57:32 UTC bkp_user 5b8b278c.11c3f [unknown] LOG: terminating walsender process due to replication timeout I'm running the following command right on the database server itself: pg_basebackup -U repl -D /var/tmp/pg_basebackup_20180901 -Ft -z It seems to be an intermittent problem.. I've had it fail or succeed about 50/50. I even bumped up the wal_sender_timeout to 2000. One notable thing is that I'm running on an ec2 instance on AWS. Any advice would be helpful.
