Обсуждение: What directories to include in base backup
Hello. I just wanted to check with you, the experts, on what directories to include in the basebackup (following http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/continuous-archiving.html) I should include these: base/ global/ pg_clog/ pg_multixact/ pg_stat_tmp/ pg_subtrans/ pg_tblspc/ pg_twophase/ PG_VERSION pg_xlog/ postmaster.opts and I can skip pg_log/ postmaster.pid Right? What about pg_xlog/ directory? Is that really needed? I store the WAL file in another place already, or should pg_xlog be included just in case it will be more recent if crash-recovery i possible?
You can ignore contents of pg_xlog is you are running WAL archiving. You can skip postmaster.pid and pg_log but make sure that you recreate pg_log in the target.
