Hi, first of all thanks for postgresql, it has never given a problem
and is performing great.
Now my question: my employer wants to do backups every 12 hours, and
save the logs evry 2 hours to... Can I simply save the logs
(cp pg_xlog/* ...) or do I need something more elaborate?
Now in a restore situation ... I restore the database, and then what?
put the saved files back in the pg_xlog/ dir, then start postmaster
and magically all starts working? Am I correct or completely insane?
The documentation is not clear in that aspect...
I suppose that you use a pre 8.0 version, if yes take a look at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/backup.html
take also a look at PITR available in the future ( near I hope :-) )
8.0:
