That was a possible design, but that's not will be there for this release. I opposed adding the "we do the base backup for you" feature because there are many ways of doing a base backup and it would likely have restricted your options to do so. One issue that would cause is limiting the speed of the base backup to a single libpq connection, which would cause performance problems. So yes, super-simple, but not super-good for many big users. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
