Re: postgres replication without pg_basebackup? postgres 13.3

Dear Laurenz,
Thank you very much for the idea. 
We ran pg_rewind correctly:

[postgres@gacsdb05 data-13.3]$ pg_rewind -c -R --target-pgdata=/PostgresDB/sas_hdd/data-13.3/  --source-server="host=XXXX port=XXXX user=postgres password=XXX" 

pg_rewind: source and target cluster are on the same timeline

pg_rewind: no rewind required


but then we got the following error:

We have read we can run pg_resetwal but the Wal folder is the folder where the Wals are archived in the primary. Would that be correct to reset them?


Any suggestion?

Thank you so much,


Pilar

That's exactly what "pg_rewind" is for.  It is a fast version of "pg_basebackup" for exactly
that case.

Yours,
