Hi again I have tried to check different /var/log/messages on the servers but they only go back 1 month. I also had quick glance at Nagios and Munin logs but I could not find anything there.
This database is mainly used for reading data as it is now, but it's a couple of applications which also store data. The 2 days with out activity in the archive logs is strange when I checked back on the activity reports for applications. I will set the archive_timeout, but the problem is that we have small updates and the archive files has the same size and is not depending on the amount of changed data. We use NFS to copy archive files to the backup server because that is simple, but maybe we should have used rsyn or something else, but independent off how we do it, we need a method to check that the archive file is OK after it's copy. If it's not OK the files must be transfers once more from the database server. I assume the archive always will be OK when it's created on the database server. Is the the way off doing this to make a script that copies the archive file to backup server cheeks that the files are equal before before it is deleted on the database server ? Is there any simple utility program that can check if the archive file is OK or do I have to do a restore to check if the file is OK ?

Ah, I see that now. Well, it's claiming that the F7 logfile is corrupt. There's also an interesting jump in timestamps - the F7 logfile is from *much* later than F6. Almost two whole days. Is that actually normal, or did something possibly go wrong with your archiving? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
