Way more interesting, IMHO. Feature to allow multiple backup at the same time looks useless to me. If DB is small, then it is not that hard to do that before or after a possible nightly backup. If DB is large necessary to comment ? The only case I find interesting is if you can use the bandwith of more than one ethernet device, else I would use rsync between nodes after the inital basebackup, pretty sure. > > -- > Heikki Linnakangas > EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com > > -- > Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers > -- Cédric Villemain 2ndQuadrant http://2ndQuadrant.fr/ PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
