Robin,
On my part it's simply the fact that I currently have two servers in
different geographical locations - and cost of new hardware is a huge issue.
I have, however, recently developed an interest in rsync but I'm unsure as
to how PG on the standby server would handle a complete rsync'd data
directory.
