I reconsider the way to not use pg_stop_backup().
Process of online base backup on standby server:1. pg_start_backup('x');2. copy the data directory3. copy *pg_control*
Behavior while restore:* read "Minimum recovery ending location" of the copied pg_control.* use the value with the same
purposesas the end-of-backup location. -> When the value is equal to 0/0, this behavior do not do. This situation
isto acquire backup from master server.
