I implemented wal archiving and it seems to be working. The segments are being copied by the shell script, and in the pg_log file I see this line: LOG: archived transaction log file "000000010000001D00000096" But the file is still int he pg_xlog directory. In the documentation I read that it might either delete or recycle the segment files. As I still see it in the directory, I want to make absolutely sure my archiving is working correctly. So my question is: Is what I'm seeing meaning the WAL archiving is working? Or should I expect the file to be deleted? Bye, Guy. -- Family management on rails: http://www.famundo.com - coming soon!
