Hi! Thanks, I'll try Slony-I next time - I currently lack the time to test it beforehand on my non-production system; I'd be a bit worried about the additional load a second PG-instance as replication slave would impose on the machine, so at the moment I'm more confident going along the same tracks I've gone before during the previous switches since 7.1.
