Hello,
I am taking pg_basebackup of primary db (docker container env.) using
the below command :
pg_basebackup -x -h vmzti -U replication -D
/etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_basebkp/basekp1224 -Ft -z -P

WARNING: skipping special file "./postgresql.conf"
4048512/4048512 kB (100%), 1/1 tablespace
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/app-pgbasebackup.html
"The backup will include all files in the data directory and
tablespaces, including the configuration files and any additional files
placed in the directory by third parties. But only regular files and
directories are copied. Symbolic links (other than those used for
tablespaces) and special device files are skipped. (See Section 50.3 for
the precise details.)"
postgresql.conf is a symlink in the data directory so it is being skipped.
* Getting the above warning message.
* Also the backup has been completed with only the single file “tar
-xvf base.tar.gz” as an output but there is no tar -xvf
pg_wal.tar.gz file exist.
* If we decompress the file “tar -xvf base.tar.gz” , I do not see
the postmaster.opts file.
Do you have more then one instance of Postgres running?
If so are you certain which one pg_basebackup is being pointed at?
Note: We have the different path for the conf files :
data_directory = '/var/lib/postgresql/9.5/main' # use data in
another directory # (change requires restart)
hba_file = '/etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf' # host-based
authentication file # (change requires restart)
ident_file = '/etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_ident.conf' # ident
configuration file # (change requires restart)
postgres=# SHOW config_file;
config_file
----------------------------------------------
/var/lib/postgresql/9.5/main/postgresql.conf
(1 row)
postgres=# show hba_file;
hba_file
--------------------------------------
/etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf
(1 row)
