I'm using streaming replication with log shipping as a fallback as per walkthrough here: http://brandonkonkle.com/blog/2010/oct/20/postgres-9-streaming-replication-and-django-balanc/ > I would just make 2 copies of the WAL file one for each slave in different > folders. > That way if one slave is offline for a period of time it can catch up when it > comes back online. ...hence using a combination of the two. For now, I've reverted to do the following on an hourly basis: for f in `find /srv/pg_backups -ctime +0.5`; do pg_archivecleanup /srv/pg_backups `basename $f`; done; ...that is, find anything that was changed within the past day and a half and archive it. Not particularly elegant, but it gives me plenty of time for a slave to go down and replay the logs. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
