[ADMIN] Hot Backup using WAL files

Hello! I already searched in the archives for similar problems but didn't find any. I want to have a hot backup server of my master server's database. I am using NetBSD 3.0.1 with Postgresql 8.2.3. It works so far, that I receive the WAL Files on the slave every few minutes from the master. I

Hi, Found on the dev mailing list (hidden well)... On the master postgresql.conf: archive_command = 'rsync -arv %p slave_hostname:/.../wal_archive/%f;' (and maybe 'cp %p /.../wal_archive/%f;') archive_timeout= 900 So, you need to perform a ssh-keygen on both sides. Now, the slave

One quick point - you don't need to alter anything in the template1 database to set user's passwords. In PgAdmin III - use the Login roles section to set the passwords - that way everything will get committed correctly. Also, have you restarted PostgreSQL since changing pg_hba.conf? Andy.

From experience I would say NEVER NEVER try and do a direct copy across different platforms (Windows - Linux.) Someone may contradict me, but I think a dump/restore would be the way to go. What sort of size of data are we talking? You'll need to factor in the time it takes to dump the data,
