Hi Everyone


I want to backup a file constantly as it change.

Is it possible at all ?

please define what "backup a file constantly" means for you.
Yep, having an exact _current_ copy all the time on two storage system.
Its the WAL ( Write ahead log ) of the postgresql DB.
Its updated on any DB action.
So i assume it will be quite Long and will change every sec or less.
I would like to keep the backup on a another computer. NFS and such.

does it mean: having an exact _current_ copy all the time on two storage
systems (i.e. safety against "disaster")

does it mean: keep a historic change log of the file for every change
made, with the ability to rollback to any desired state?

does it mean: keep a backup of the file every 10 minutes?

does it mean something else?

then define: the size of the file (min/average/max)
            the rate of changes per time unit (min/average)
            who generates the file and changes to the file - a given
            software you wrote, a given software you did not write?
            are the changes to the file performed manually, or by
            automatic software?

then come back.
