Re: Fastest option to transfer db?

I'm potentiall facing the same problem and would be interested in the solution. Is there any particular howto you followed?

Also at some point I'd like to cut of the link between the two DBs promote the copy to be the master and delete the original DB. Have you figured out the correct step for the cut-over to happen?

Ok, I have logical replication up-and-running (I guess - seemed to simple to be working. Shouldn’t it be complicated, requiring many steps and configuration changes?), maxing out one CPU core on each machine (more or less), and showing network throughput of around 15M. If DU changes are to be believed, it’s transferring data at about 0.8GB/minute, implying something like a 8 hour transfer time.

Of course, since it is replication, it has the benefit that any data that comes in during that 8 hour window should also be replicated, after which the two systems should remain in sync allowing for zero (or nearly so) downtime cutover. Which is nice.

Any gotchas I need to be aware of during this initial transfer window, such as WAL files building up on the source machine?

What version of Postgres is the source? Can you make use of logical replication?
