Hello i have one script that does a full backup weekly and one thats used to archive the WAL files. The script that does the full backup creates a new directory and stores the directory name to a config file. The script that copies the WAL files uses this configuration to store the files. What happens if the script for the full backup runs while the script for copying the WAL file is running. Can i rely on the following WAL files to match to the newly created full backup? Say i can delete the old directories. _tia rene -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
