It is possible as well to group the WAL files in a different tarball than the main directory and put that at the tail of the list for the fetch mode, while the main directory gets at the head. That would break things for existing users by the way, and just being able to look at the LSN start location before receiving the tar bytes of the backup does not seem enough to justify such a breakage. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
