Not sure I buy that argument. pg_dump/pg_dumpall/pg_restore are under client applications. They're something you run *alongside* initdb and not instead, sure.. But they're all backup tools. And normally you *don't* necessarily run pg_basebackup instead of initdb. That is just one usecase - the one of setting up a clone or a replication slave. If you're using it to just take a base backup (which is what it's named for), it's not done instead of initdb... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
