hi, I have set archive_command like below: alter system set archive_command ='pgbackrest --stanza=main archive-push %'; then I reloaded the conf file select pg_reload_conf(); now when i checked it using the show command like it gave me correct output postgres=# show archive_command; archive_command ----------------------------------------- pgbackrest --stanza=main archive-push % but... while checking the postgresql.conf file it didn't show me above output, the parameter acrhive_command is still set with default value archive_command = '/bin/true/' # command to use to archive a logfile segment So please help me in giving the reason of it that even after reloading the conf file why it didn't set the value in postgresql.conf file ?
