Replicating how? Are these WAL files in the pg_xlog directory, the
location your archive script copies them to, or somewhere else?
What is your overall backup strategy? How many base backups do you
keep, how far back? What sort of recovery options do you need
(e.g., point in time recovery to any point in the last year, or
something less extreme?)
