[PATCHES] Bug in WAL backup documentation

[Bernd Helmle]

Our WAL backup documentation says in some parts of it:

..."%p is replaced by the absolute path of the file to archive..." [1]


replaces this with pg_xlog/<LOGFILENAME> only, so that the archive command

will adjust things in the documentation.

I think this is (at least for 8.1 and upcoming 8.2 releases) wrong, since the archiver is invoked with the relative path to the database data directory and its xlog files. This applies to the restore_command as well. Attached is a small patch against HEAD, which [1] http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/backup-online.html#BACKUP-ARCHIVING-WAL
