    Hi,

    v8.4.20

    This is what the current backup script uses:

    /usr/bin/psql -U postgres -c "SELECT
    pg_start_backup('Incrementalbackup',true);"
    cp -r /var/lib/pgsql/data/* $dumpdir/data/
    /usr/bin/psql -U postgres template1 -c "SELECT pg_stop_backup();"


That's fine, as long as you have a wal archive. Although I don't know what is "Incremental" about it.

From reading the docs, that field is just a label with no intrinsic meaning.
