I did not notice this earlier (sorry), but there seems to remain in
backup.sgml a programlisting example that shows a psql invocation
for pg_backup_start, then a tar command, then another psql invocation
for pg_backup_stop.
I think that was only workable for the exclusive mode, and now it is
necessary to issue pg_backup_start and pg_backup_stop in the same session.
(The 'touch backup_in_progress' business seems a bit bogus now too,
suggesting an exclusivity remembered from bygone days.)
I am not sure what a workable, simple example ought to look like.
Maybe a single psql script issuing the pg_backup_start and the
pg_backup_stop, with a tar command in between with \! ?
Several bricks shy of production-ready, but it would give the idea.
