I have two questions: 1. In Postgresql, what is the name of the exact DATAFILE under the DATA DIRECTORY ? 2. We want to prepare a backup machine (for disaster management) by passing only the ARCHIVEDIR directory from another online machine - both the machines have Postgresql installed. We have sent PGLOG and ARCHIVEDIR but the recovery is not successful unless we send the FULL DATA Directory. Please help us in resolving this problem whereby we do not have to send the full DATA Directory. The version of Postgresql is 8.0.3 on SuSe Linux 9. Thanks and Regards Sumita Chatterjee
