The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Transaction Archival Logging -- Hot Backups

Long Description
I see no mention of transaction archival logging in the documentation.

This means that, even though you support correct transaction rollback semantics, to back up the database in a
consistentmanner, I have to take it offline and backup all the files. 

Either I'm missing something (and I did a documentation, FAQ and Todo search) or it's not currently possibly to
actuallyput Postgres into a 24/7 production environment? 

Sample Code
