Re: Best backup strategy for production systems

About wal files and archiving of them, I must delete both manually, isn't it? There isn't any option for automatically delete wal files with a given age in the postgresql.conf, isn't it? (Away of archive_command). Do you use Linux? Could you pass me your archive_command or script that you use for copying/gzipping the files?

Thanks beforehand.

you need ALL the archived WAL files since the start of the last base backup, or none of them are useful.
