I guess I was confused by this page during my initial google search: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pghotbackup/
There is a PgFoundry project for Postgresql Hot Backup, and the initial google search pointed to various hot backup projects. In the above URL there is a perl script relating to hot backups. http://www.google.com/search?q=postgresql+hot So yeah, I apologize for the confusion. - Ericson Smith Developer http://www.funadvice.com On 5/21/07, Dave Page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
