Hi all, In the recent thread related to a bug in pg_stop_backup when waiting for WAL segments to be archived, it has been mentioned that it would be nice to get backup history files generated as well on standbys: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA+Tgmobh3=quCzugFP5yA3-z5uzz=YKZ7arnoApJoPN7=0h...@mail.gmail.com
Backup history files are not essential to backups, but they are for debugging purposes, and it has bugged me hard that we should have a consistent behavior in this area, particularly because with archive_mode = always they can be archived by a standby. The previous thread has ended with 52f8a59d, which addressed the original problem but discarded the backup history file generation during recovery. Attached is a patch to fix this inconsistency, parked in next CF. I am not arguing for this change as a bug fix, but as an improvement for PG11. Thoughts? -- Michael
