Not really following what's being asked here, but one thing that I can
certainly say is that rsync, by itself, is not an acceptable solution
for performing online backups of PostgreSQL.

I'd strongly suggest you continue to use pg_basebackup or look into a
more advanced tool like pgBackRest if you need a backup solution for
PostgreSQL.

Thanks,
