Hey all, I have a question about streaming replication available in PG 9+ The general configuration I see is along the lines of this:
http://brandonkonkle.com/blog/2010/oct/20/postgres-9-streaming-replication-and-django-balanc/ Where you do the file system backup and restore. However, our current server I wish to make master has a 75GB database. I can't take the server down, and I can't run rsync against the live DB. What are my options? I don't care if it takes a day or two for the slave to get up to sync w/ the master: is there some way to have an empty DB read an entire log that has everything? I could also do a pg_restore to the new slave from last night's DB backup, but I understand (at least, I seem to read it) that you can't bring a slave up using pg_restore. Are there any other options I am missing? Thanks for any tips. -- Wells Oliver wellsoli...@gmail.com
