Archive WAL Logs Failed

Hi All,

Yesterday, we'd archiver problems in copying archived wal files from pg_xlog to archive destination at the end of full hotbackup. Below are the errors from server logs.

What makes me to wonder is that why does archiver tries to copy "000000010000000800000074.0066C9C0.backup" again when it's already been archived. As soon I removed "000000010000000800000074.0066C9C0.backup" from archive location, then archiver was happy to copy again and moved on to archiving 000000010000000800000074 etc.

Any idea what may be going on here.

Thanks,
